Feature Request Use XML Comment as Tooltip

Use XML Comment as Tooltip, then I don't need to write same words twice.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. /// <summary>
3. /// A long XML Comment.
4. /// </summary>
5. [Tooltip("Same with XML comment, but I have to write it again!")]
6. [SerializeField]
7. protected float someField = 100;
8.  

 

No one's interested in this? I think that's a good idea.

 

I really wish this had more attention... XML Comments (as well as their step-sibling the Javadoc comment) are a standard in a majority of the Computer Science industry.

Especially considering that

• Tooltips don't provide Intellisense nor autocompletion
  • XML Comments do
• Tooltips are an editor only attribute
  • XML Comments are a standard that many code IDEs support
• Tooltips are only loaded when Unity compiles the code
  • XML Comments are also a compile-time only feature (that is stripped upon building the executable)

It would be fantastic for the Tooltip attribute to have a no-argument constructor that serializes any XML comment attached to the same variable.
