Setting tooltip-use-echo-area to t meant that normal (and GUD) tooltip
strings were displayed in the echo area i.e not really as tooltips.
They can now be displayed there independently. For GUD tooltips set
gud-tooltip-echo-area to t. For normal (help) tooltips, just turn
tooltip-mode off.
Meanwhile, tooltip-use-echo-area has been abducted by gud for use as an
alias, breaking existing code that assumed it was a general user option
for controlling the display of tooltips.
Shouldn't turning tooltip-mode off disable tooltips completely, whether
they are displayed in frames or the echo area?
