Language Server Protocol uses distinct "types" and "modifiers" for this
(https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_semanticTokens);
an identifier can have "function" type, and an instance of it can have
"declaration" or "implementation" or no modifier.
