FWIW, I fully agree with Jason, on both counts. tooltip-use-echo-area
was a useful option; in particular, if we ever make the tty version
support tooltips, displaying them in the echo area will be our only
choice.
That option should have never been removed, IMHO. Does anything
prevent us from resurrecting it now?
