Function description tooltip

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 187

It would be really nice if when you hovered your mouse over a functions 
name it would give a tooltip with an example of the required arguments.  
Also when I think of calculator functions I would expect to use a comma 
to seperate arguments, so it would be nice if it told you that you were 
supposed to use semicolons.

``` That's a very good idea indeed, thanks! ```

``` Good idea, the semicolon separator threw me, as it is rather unusual. Even a very simple/quick change to the Insert Function title, to Insert Function FName(a;b;c..) ```

``` @Jim: the semicolon is because we accept both comma and dot as integer part separators. There was a long discussion in this tracker and in the mailing list about that. ```

``` That is alright but having the tool tip in the function screen would help clue people in to the fact that semicolons should be used. I was quite lost when I went to use a function and it wouldn't accept a comma. Having the tool tip would definitely have helped me. ```

Closing as I think issue 437 covers the needs expressed here.

Is this still open for a particular reason or just an oversight?

This had been rejected (see my comment just before yours). I think the migration went wrong.
