making lua-lang-server take care of the calling manner of foo.bar(self, ...)

[haolian9]

one mistake i always trend to make is calling a method by dot like foo.bar and that method requires a self param (of course, that's why we call it method).

currently lua-language-server does not report this as an error, but it does is an error. so can we make this misuse as a diagnostic error?

local foo = {
    bar = function(self)
        return "bar"
    end
}

foo.bar()

(i dont know what this calling manner is called generally in lua word world, sorry to be ambiguous here)

You can catch it by annotation

local foo = {
    ---@param self table
    bar = function(self)
        return "bar"
    end
}

foo.bar() --> raise warning here
