Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
It is common to have some complex types defined. In that scenario when you use bicep parameters file with intellisense to see the parameter's tool tip the type is displayed first before the description. In case where the type is very long you need to scroll in order to get the description. I think it is important that the description is displayed before the type. Overall there should be a better way to visualize this type as currently this visualization is not very helpful.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the issue in a Bicep parameters file using a long user-defined type, then inspect the existing IntelliSense tooltip behavior; done should mean the description is visible before the type without scrolling, though the requested visualization remains unspecified.
