Hi,

I guess that's because now it has been mentioned and click-baited on
the mailing list. :)

The clang based code model is at least smart enough to offer code
completion for the auto variables (and even pops up said tooltip when
choosing an auto variable from the autocomplete list). The only thing
missing is the tooltip when you hover over the auto variable itself.

So the problem is at least partially solved by the clang code model.

Hope this helps,
