Tooltip missing description

[AndreasMatthias]

---@alias foo table
---@type foo
---Description of `foo`.
local foo = {}
local x = foo

Hovering over foo displays a tooltip including the description ("Description of foo").

But this description is missing if hovering over x. Is this on purpose? Wouldn't it be beneficial to display the description too?

It's designed this way, so that comments for local variables cannot be passed on.

Ok, I see. I guess this makes sense in many circumstances.
