Hi Olivier, I think this would work:

jQuery.fn.simpleTooltip = function(o){
  var sharedVar;
  $(this).hover(
    function(){
      sharedVar = 'this string is used in the "out" function';
    },
    function(){
      alert(sharedVar);
  });
}

I think all anonymous functions declared within a plugin have access
to vars declared further up the scope chain (or something to that
effect).
