Oh, not at all: _iff_ I were using the echo area for tooltips, I would
want the tool tip to be as long as the echo area. But I am using
popup frame tooltips, and for those, a single long line is quite ugly.
And I think it perfectly fine to generally use as few lines as
possible for echo-area tooltips. But for the _regular_ tooltips,
that's not pretty.
