Do not show RPGLE hover info that simply parrots the actual line without additional info

The new hover function in the RPGLE editor tries to always show something.
Sometimes that info is simply a repeat of the line (or part of line) under the mouse and adds no other information.
This is distracting and mask part of the next line.
For instance, hovering over endif, shows endif in the pop-up.
I think there should not be a pop-up if it does not add some additional information.


Use Case:

n/a

    Comments preceding an RPGLE subroutine are displayed in a hover in similar manner to a subprocedure. Hovers that do not show any additional information beyond the source line being hovered over are no longer displayed.
    This feature is now available in the IBM Rational Developer for i V9.6 product with V9.6.0.2 fixpack installed.

    Would it be sufficient to suppress the displaying of Calc statements (which adds very little value).

    What other constructs do you find the hover annoying and not providing information?
