Looks good! I think there are a few places we could tidy up, but I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's possible.

Alright, got the overload to work, it seems to work better than in my memory, we should now get clean overloads, thanks for suggesting to dig into that.

Overloads on VSCode

May I just ask you to double-check that everything looks alright on Vim too? If yes, then feel free to hit merge ☺️

Looks perfect in Vim! Nice work on the overloads. Being able to use @deprecated is a nice touch. I just wish tsserver would display the deprecation message, but this is still good.
