Similar to that, I really like Emacs's eldoc. When the cursor is inside a function call and the operator is recognized by eldoc (both standard library functions and user-defined functions defined in the same file), the function's header and (if known) return type is displayed in the minibuffer. For example if the cursor is here (<= |2 3) eldoc displays (<= x1 x2 ...) => bool in the minibuffer. Often, that gives me all the information I need, and I don't need to search the docs (or my source file). Something similar for DrRacket would be great.
