      Consider:

      QString myString = QString();

      If your cursor is over the first QString then you will be told about the QString type and if you press F2, you will jump to its definition (all as expected).

      Now, say that, instead, we have:

      auto myString = QString();

      Well, it would be very useful to have the same behaviour for auto as above for the first QString.

      For more complicated types, e.g.

      auto myMapping = QMap<QString, MyClass *>();

      it would be very useful if the tooltip was to have some clickable text that would mention the different types, i.e. QMap, QString and MyClass.
