[DUG] Delphi 2005 IDE and naming conventions.

We are revisiting our naming conventions and I have read a few of the 
previous posts on the subject, along with suggested articles, and I have 
a question about the latest IDE for Delphi (we still use Delphi 6 but 
will probably upgrade with the next release... if it is stable).
After using Eclipse with Java for a little while now, one of the things 
I really appreciate in that IDE is that any documentation for a field 
etc appears in it's hint when the mouse is held over it. Having that 
feature makes some aspects of naming conventions less important I think.

My question is, does the latest Delphi IDE also have this feature? Where 
the code-insight hint that shows for something includes any 
documentation for that item? If it does then that will probably affect 
any changes we make to our naming conventions.

Cheers,
Phil.
