Forgot something:

"Real" tooltip frames are not implemented. At the time I added toolips,
Emacs didn't have child frames, which led to the horrible special
handling of tooltips frames for GUIs.

And the tooltip code is spread and repeated over different GUI source
files.

I couldn't be bothered to untangle this to add tooltips for ttys, 
but there is tty-tip.el which does something very close using child
frames. Just use tty-tip-mode and move the mouse over mode-line items,
for example. Or over flymake errors, and so on.
