[L2Ork-dev] Help doc improvement

[Flachy Joe]

Hi,

in the same way, can inlet/outlet be tooltiped ?

I think about an argument to inlet which be shown in parent when mouse
is on the small rectangle. Symbol args are already allowed for inlet but
ignored so this improvement will be backcompatible.

Regards,
FF
