On irc someone (sorry, don't know your real name...) pointed out that there is a previous patch: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/24426 This was sent in 2004 and from what I can tell, not checked in due to a feature freeze. And there is also the color-eldoc package: http://www.dd.chalmers.se/~bojohan/emacs/lisp/color-eldoc.el This one looks nicest (the screenshot -- I didn't read the code), maybe someone (an actual maintainer, not a dilettante like me :-) could approach the author for paperwork and inclusion in Emacs.
