+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; This package enables eldoc support when minibuffer is in use.
+;;
+;; Eldoc info is shown by default in mode-line,
+;; but you can have eldoc info somewhere else by setting
+;; `eldoc-in-minibuffer-show-fn' to another function (e.g `tooltip-show').
+;;
+;; By default with this package `M-:' will use `pp-eval-expression'
+;; instead of `eval-expression'; you can change that by setting
+;; `eval-preferred-function'.
+;;
+;; It also provides a convenient macro to enable eldoc support
+;; in your own functions using minibuffer or in your defadvices,
+;; that is `with-eldoc-in-minibuffer'.
+;;
+;; Users of own minibuffer frame will have to set
+;; `eldoc-in-minibuffer-own-frame-p' to non-nil.
+;;
+;; You can turn off eldoc support in minibuffer any time
+;; by setting `eldoc-in-minibuffer' to nil.
+
+;;; Code:
+(require 'eldoc)
+
+
+;;; Minibuffer support.
+;; Enable displaying eldoc info in something else
+;; Than minibuffer when this one is in use.
