That would be good. To clarify: it I setTextHint on certain region on text,
the mouse leaves that region, tool-tip is hidden and the mouse enters that 
region again, I'd like the same tooltip to be shown again, without 
'needTextHint'. In other words, I want tooltips to be kind of "sticky", to 
minimize queries to debugger in KDevelop.

And there should be a way to reset all tooltips (after program restart).

Ideally, there should be also tooltip for selections. Say, I have expression 
like this in debugger:

   a + foo

I can view the value of 'a' and 'foo' via mouse, but I also want to quickly 
get the value of the entire expression. It would be nice to just select it 
with a mouse, and get immediate tooltip with value.
