Ah, I think I understand now.  The patch makes it easier to customize
the composition of all eldoc-documentation-functions at the cost of
making it more difficult for the individual mode to decide how its own
doc function will compose.  Could be a worthwhile tradeoff (especially
since there currently aren't any individual mode eldoc functions using
anything apart from :before-until, afaik); I'm on the fence about this.
