It shouldn't require a fancy forward-lookup-capable editor / language-server to show type. That is the point I am trying to make

var/declare x;

25 lines later

call f(x); // ** Reader has no idea what x is ... even though compiler has **

25 lines later

if (....)

     x = "world" // infer type as string - this is bad
