Request for feedback on Signature Assistant

[Sven Brauch]

Maybe also the style kdevelop uses for updating declarations could be made
customizable (or, better yet, be copied from the corresponding declaration /
definition)? For example, it currently writes QList< int >, but I like
QList<int> better (mixing both is especially crappy); and having to re-edit
every declaration kdevelop changes makes this feature less useful than it
would otherwise be :)

Best regards,
Sven
