Description
This week on #drupal someone requested for tooltips on function listings. I think this is a good improvement and this is the patch to get them.

+1 for this feature.

This patch very much no longer applies cleanly. It has been low-priority as a feature.
I personally do not like tooltips. When you load a page, the mouse is likely to be on the page. If the mouse happens to be on a tooltip, then you get the tooltip obscuring content. I really don't like my content obscured without me doing anything. In this specific case, maybe the whole function signature should be displayed, so users can see the arguments up-front.
This should be implemented well-enough that people will not want to turn it off, making the option unnecessary.
