The way to set an option from a value returned by a function is:
let &guitabltooltip=GuiTabToolTip()
if you want to set local value (like setlocal does) you could use:
let &l:guitabtooltip=GuiTabToolTip()
You can read about it in ":help :let-&". You can also use the short
name of an option. &guitabtooltip is just a VimL variable. There is
also &g:guitabtooltip which will work like using the :setglobal command.
Best,
Marcin
