Actually, the docstring says "HOOK should be a symbol", so the problem
is only that you base your decision on the eldoc info, which is
necessarily too limited to be trusted to give that kind of detail.
I find that changing the argument name makes the code and docstring too
verbose for my taste, so I don't think it's worth the trouble.
