I think we're losing here by rolling our own instead of using eldoc. For example, today I noticed that slime-autodoc continues to echo during an isearch; eldoc has been made to avoid doing this.
Sorry, slip-of-the-finger plus Gnus' send-without-confirm behavior led me to send the incomplete message above. To continue...
In slime-autodoc's favor, it _is_ much simpler, particularly when you consider having to use an advice to take advantage of eldoc in pre-21.3 Emacs. But I suspect that there will be other cases of unforseen gotchas and minor behavioral differences in the future, and can't help but think that maintaining a parallel implementation of eldoc is more trouble than necessary.
