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?

Ok, if @addaleax concurs I think you can continue with the changes.

A lot of the assertions had to be modified anyway with this changeset, so as a driveby I've changed them all to the canonical internal assertion pattern.

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.
