--- Tooltip module for awesome objects.
--
-- A tooltip is a small hint displayed when the mouse cursor
-- hovers a specific item.
-- In awesome, a tooltip can be linked with almost any
-- object having a `:connect_signal()` method and receiving
-- `mouse::enter` and `mouse::leave` signals.
--
-- How to create a tooltip?
-- ---
--
--     myclock = awful.widget.textclock({}, "%T", 1)
--     myclock_t = awful.tooltip({
--         objects = { myclock },
--         timer_function = function()
--                 return os.date("Today is %A %B %d %Y\nThe time is %T")
--             end,
--         })
--
-- How to add the same tooltip to several objects?
-- ---
--
--     myclock_t:add_to_object(obj1)
--     myclock_t:add_to_object(obj2)
--
-- Now the same tooltip is attached to `myclock`, `obj1`, `obj2`.
--
-- How to remove tooltip from many objects?
-- ---
--
--     myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj1)
--     myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj2)
--
-- Now the same tooltip is only attached to `myclock`.
