I don't think they like variables to change value when they move the
mouse around e.g.
#define ADD4 addtox (4)
int x = 1;
void addtox (int i)
{
x = x + i;
}
adds 4 to x every time the mouse lingers over ADD4. It's a contrived example
but there are probably more realistic scenarios. In Emacs, I don't compute
the tooltip if the macro expands to a function.
