So 'eldoc-documentation-functions' just holds a list of functions I
could call in order to get the documentation of the object at point?
How does the notion of a "hook" enter here?

Is there a way to drop that callback?  I just want an immediate answer.

'eldoc-documentation-strategy' is a variable so it's probably the
function that is the value of that variable and it should suffice to use
'eldoc-documentation-default'.  But this failed here before.
