Comment:

 Thanks for the patch, shahpranaf. Using title attributes here is not a
 viable option, as it is actually detrimental for screen readers (see
 #24766, for example) and it would cause the tooltip for all items, even
 when not collapsed. They also only show on hover, which doesn't exist on
 touch devices, many of which get the collapsed menu by default, so it
 doesn't help in that context, either.

 If the icons aren't clear enough as to what they do, perhaps we need to
 evaluate that instead? What is the problem you'd like to solve?
