A function that calls ‘tooltip-show’ doesn't have to care because the
latter already uses ‘tooltip-hide-delay’ as TIMEOUT argument for
‘x-show-tip’.

A function that calls ‘x-show-tip’ directly should generally use
‘tooltip-hide-delay’ as TIMEOUT argument.  If it doesn't, it should
provide a customizable variable to use as TIMEOUT argument instead.
