I'm not sure, if it should be done this way in the long run. Wasn't
there some discussion some time ago about the possibilities to have
xlets numbered, like in jMax? Then we'd already have [inlet 1] as
first arg. Whatever: If tooltips take the first arg's position, then
that position is gone for possible other uses.

Maybe a kind of doc message for xlets would be an alternative. Like 

 [doc This inlet accepts the frequency(
 \
  [inlet]

Okay, inlets don't have inlets yet, but it's just a thought.

ciao
