Some language servers return local symbols in `workspace/symbol` responses, and languages like Julia can have multiple overloads for the same generic function name. In these cases, symbols may appear identical in the symbol picker, making it hard to distinguish between them. Adding line numbers helps users identify the correct symbol. In the future, we may also want to consider using `containerName` from the LSP response for additional context.

@aviatesk Thanks for tackling this! Made a small change to differentiate the line number from the path. I was finding it difficult to parse the line number when scanning the list. |
