+  If set to `1`, moving your mouse over documents in Vim will make ALE ask
+  `tsserver` or `LSP` servers for information about the symbol where the mouse
+  cursor is, and print that information into Vim's echo line. This is an
+  option for supporting older versions of Vim which do not properly support
+  balloons in an asynchronous manner.
+
+  If your version of Vim supports the |balloon_show| function, then this
+  option does nothing meaningful.
