Hi,
The eldoc adaptation semantic (in senator.el) uses `eldoc-message' to
display the string, so I was somewhat surprised that it wouldn't work.
(I was unaware of the feature to begin with.)
I looked in eldoc, and it obeys the multiline flag before calling
eldoc-message. As such, your solution mimics what eldoc is doing in
several places. I will adapt your patch for the next version of
semantic (2.0 beta 1).
Thanks!
Eric
