-------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Tooltip module for awesome objects.
--
-- A tooltip is a small hint displayed when the mouse cursor
-- hovers over 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?
-- ---
--
-- @DOC_awful_tooltip_textclock_EXAMPLE@
--
-- Alternatively, you can use `mouse::enter` signal:
--
-- @DOC_awful_tooltip_textclock2_EXAMPLE@
--
-- How to create a tooltip without objects?
-- ---
--
-- @DOC_awful_tooltip_mouse_EXAMPLE@
--
-- How to add the same tooltip to multiple 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 a tooltip from several objects?
-- ---
--
--     myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj1)
--     myclock_t:remove_from_object(obj2)
--
-- Now the same tooltip is only attached to `myclock`.
