Display Parameters When Hovering Over External Procedure Calls

Display Parameter definitions when hovering over external procedure calls in the same way that happens when hovering over internal procedure calls.


Use Case:

I use content assist to add an external procedure call, and it displays the parameter names and types, but when I go back and hover on the procedure it only displays the return type. (If I do the same on a call to an internally described procedure the tool-tip shows all parameter names and types).

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
