# PROCEDURE
#	tooltip::tooltip
#
# DESCRIPTION
#	Implements a tooltip (balloon help) system
#
# ARGUMENTS
#	tooltip <option> ?arg?
#
# clear ?pattern?
#	Stops the specified widgets (defaults to all) from showing tooltips
#
# delay ?millisecs?
#	Query or set the delay.  The delay is in milliseconds and must
#	be at least 50.  Returns the delay.
#
# disable OR off
#	Disables all tooltips.
#
# enable OR on
#	Enables tooltips for defined widgets.
#
# <widget> ?-index index? ?-items id? ?-tag tag? ?message?
#	If -index is specified, then <widget> is assumed to be a menu
#	and the index represents what index into the menu (either the
#	numerical index or the label) to associate the tooltip message with.
#	Tooltips do not appear for disabled menu items.
#	If -item is specified, then <widget> is assumed to be a listbox
#	or canvas and the itemId specifies one or more items.
#	If -tag is specified, then <widget> is assumed to be a text
#	and the tagId specifies a tag.
#	If message is {}, then the tooltip for that widget is removed.
#	The widget must exist prior to calling tooltip.  The current
#	tooltip message for <widget> is returned, if any.
#
# RETURNS: varies (see methods above)
#
# NAMESPACE & STATE
#	The namespace tooltip is used.
#	Control toplevel name via ::tooltip::wname.
#
# EXAMPLE USAGE:
#	tooltip .button "A Button"
#	tooltip .menu -index "Load" "Loads a file"
