When not debugging, the tooltip can now show the value if enabled on the Intellisense options page.

Unfortunately, these tooltips have to be blocked to let the debugger show data value tool tips.

Awesome. Tested, working in editor.

Does the debuginfo support populating those identifiers with values such that the debugger is able to show them when displaying value data the usual way?

I have now added that with semantic highlighting enabled, tooltip requests are no longer forwarded to the debugger if hovering a compile time identifier (type/enum), thus showing the tooltip of the semenatic analyzer.

That should help in most cases, even without appropriate debug information. Aliases as in your example are never anything that the debugger knows about anyway, they don't make it into the compiler backend.
