Here's a doc patch for ElDoc, with some minor readability fixes.

I'm unsure how to improve the doc for globalized minor modes, so I'll
leave that for another time.

Indeed, the docstring is a bit ambiguous.

Maybe you want to improve the documentation of the said function, or the auto-generated docstring that it puts on the created minor modes.

Say buffers A and B have simple `eldoc-mode' switched on, and
buffers C and D don't (and global-eldoc-mode is off).  If I then
switch global-eldoc-mode on, is every buffer's value of eldoc-mode
now /on/, or do the values get toggled instead (leaving A and B off, C
and D on)?

Not toggled, of course. On everywhere (where appropriate).

And after that, if I toggle global-eldoc-mode off again,
are the previous values remembered and restored, or does every buffer
now have eldoc-mode switched off?

Not remembered, no. Off everywhere.
