Hover : exclude comments from beeing shown on definitions

Actually the hover function shows comments that the editor thinks may be relevant to a definition. It picks up any comment lines immediately preceding the item being defined.
It should be possible to stop that, for example by inserting one/two blank lines or a special character.
Because otherwise it will bring up all the comments even those that doesn't belong to the definition itself. (Maybe a comment, that seperate a block of code ore something else)


Use Case:

Writing procedure descriptions that appear on hovering over the function. Or any other declaration of an item.

    It also picks up RIGHT-SIDE comments for declarative items like variables and prototype parms which is useful. I actually now work in a shop where the relevant comments FOLLOW the item being declared. Yes, annoying, but true. In RDi, this gives the comment to the wrong item and becomes quite misleading at times!

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

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