I'd generally agree, but I guess Gerald doesn't want to duplicate the
eldoc output in the header line, but instead he wants it to be there
only.
BTW: In contrast to the echo area, the header-line allows only one
single line of content. So you might want to let-bind
`eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p' to nil.
BTW2: I think this eldoc-in-header-line is really nice. Gerald, you
might want to built that into eldoc.el directly as an option, and submit
a patch to emacs-devel, so that others can share the experience.
Bye,
Tassilo
