Description
Issue Type: Feature Request
It would be very helpful to show popup documentation for .NET objects and members while coding in PowerShell, similar to what is already present for cmdlets. Is it possible with this extension or some other extension? The code completion for .NET objects works great but it would be nice to show the doc comments in the drowdowns and tooltips too.
