Include type in tooltip

[DoomTas3r]

The variant name as a string is appended to the description. If null, then no type is shown

Helping with #271 (comment)

I'll let someone else review the implementation/code itself, but I like this from a UX perspective. :) It keeps the slightly technical information in the tooltip where we're already exposing that sort of thing, and displays it consistently. 👍🏻

In the spirit of progressive disclosure, it can help learners (or mentors/instructors!) better understand how/why things work the way they do, without overloading the block UI itself.

Can you instead do this:

Suggested change

	if definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_NIL:
	return definition.description
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_BOOL:
	variant_as_string = "Boolean"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_INT:
	variant_as_string = "Integer"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_FLOAT:
	variant_as_string = "Float"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_STRING:
	variant_as_string = "String"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_VECTOR2:
	variant_as_string = "Vector2"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_COLOR:
	variant_as_string = "Color"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_NODE_PATH:
	variant_as_string = "NodePath"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_OBJECT:
	variant_as_string = "Object"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_CALLABLE:
	variant_as_string = "Callable"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_SIGNAL:
	variant_as_string = "Signal"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_DICTIONARY:
	variant_as_string = "Dictionary"
	elif definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_ARRAY:
	variant_as_string = "Array"
	else:
	variant_as_string = "Undefined"
	return definition.description + "\n\nType: [b]" + variant_as_string + "[/b]"
	if definition.variant_type == Variant.Type.TYPE_NIL:
	return definition.description
	return definition.description + "\n\nType: [b]" + type_string(definition.variant_type)

except perhaps not appending the type in the NIL case, as you already did. I'll edit my suggestion

Thanks for amending this. When I got back to my computer to test the branch I thought it would be clearer to use a format string, so I took the liberty of making that change in your patch.

This is a really nice improvement. Thanks for thinking of it & submitting it!
