Excessive hover info?

[aaronjanse]

Right now, hovering over any whitespace or comments in an attribute set shows the value of the entire set. This is great for small sets, but it might be unwanted for large ones (e.g. nixos modules).

I guess my question is: when is it appropriate to show the value of an expression when hovering?

I had the wrong repo open while creating this issue, so I've transferred it here from rnix-parser 🤦

I think it'd be a bit harsh if we only show the attr-set when hovering on the closing/opening bracket in an expression like

{
  foobar = 1;
}

Would it make sense to show an even shorter summary when hovering over comments (or at least whitespace)? Because I can imagine that it's useful to see what "context" you're in when editing lines in a large attr-set, however I'm not much into UX, so I'm not sure :)
