Anyway, I just had a look at this.  This isn't the normal situation of
an ElDoc user switching from the old "call eldoc-message directly"
protocol to the new callback-based protocol.

Rather, idle.el is mostly a reimplementation of ElDoc itself which uses
a substantial amount of ElDoc internals -- and repeats much of its code.
It is, in my opinion a file to be itself obsoleted.  Anyway, the
solution with less risk here is to use with-supressed-warnings, which is
what the attached patch does.
