In my setup, the minibuffer is in its own frame, with no mode-line in
sight. So indeed I don't get the eldoc hints in `M-:` because they're
placed in a non-displayed mode-line. E.g.:
% src/emacs -Q --eval '(setq default-frame-alist (quote ((minibuffer . nil))))'
M-: (format
...wait a little...
...and see that the mode-line doesn't display anything about `format`
