I disagree. I think this could be a good idea. It could just point to a few things that would be needed: A minor mode: tooltip-mode gud-tooltip-mode A function to add to tooltip-hook: tooltip-help-tips gud-tooltip-tips It could say that tooltip-mode uses text-properties while gud-tooltip-mode uses track-mouse etc. I could imagine other modes like gud-tooltip-mode e.g to display lisp variable values with edebug.
