I want to see both results.  See what eldoc-documentation-compose does.

To do what is described above, not only does one have to write some
wrapper function to advise eldoc-documentation-function buffer-locally,
but also one has to hook into any/every mode that might add its own doc
function.

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.

Correct.

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.

Not in emacs, at least.  In elpa, ggtags uses :after-until.  The only
3rd party packages--that I can think of right now--that implement eldoc
functions just use setq-local (elpy and geiser).
