If I can cast a vote for keeping return instead of result, I'd like to do so – that's just generally more in line with what the standardized terminology around function signatures is

Well, if I have to pick one I'd go for return and arguments.
@Renegade334 Are you fine with doing so?

Having multiple property name aliases for function signature objects doesn't add utility, but from a TS perspective, it blocks being able to infer the resultant function type from the shape of the signature object. With all else being equal, it'd be useful to get rid of them.
In the absence of any of these names being unambiguously more appropriate than the others,
parametersandresultappear to be the most canonical.
