Description
TypeScript Version: 2.1.5, 2.2-rc
Code
/** Performance measurements for the compiler. */
namespace ts.performance {}
Expected behavior:
The doc comment should show up in quickinfo/completion for references to the innermost declared namespace performance, but not for ts.
Actual behavior:
The doc comment appears in quickinfo/completion for references to both performance and ts, even though for the outer namespace ts it's most likely irrelevant:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the dotted namespace example with TypeScript 2.1.5 or 2.2-rc, then trace the quickinfo and completion entry points for the outer and innermost namespace references. Done means the comment appears for performance but not for ts in both quickinfo and completion.
