Hi Yuan, I've now pushed the branch with eldoc-display-functions to
master. It is version 1.11.0 of the ElDoc library and should be in GNU
ELPA soon.

It uses all of them after calculating the documentation that should be
displayed. The default value of eldoc-display-functions has two
elements:
- eldoc-display-in-echo-area which displays the documentation in the echo
area, as is usual in Emacs.
- eldoc-display-in-doc-buffer which puts the documentation in a dedicated
buffer. However it does not display that buffer, unless 'M-x eldoc'
is being called interactively (which normally it isn't, but now you
can do that).

I've improved the documentation (after applying your typos patch:
thanks!). If should be clear from the docstring. Tell me if it's not.
Anyway, you don't _have_ to provide :thing when writing new members for
eldoc-documentation-functions and you don't _have_ to interpret it when
writing members for eldoc-display-functions.
João
