(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

Reading this thread, there were some good arguments for why we shouldn't
add such a variable -- x-show-tip isn't supposed to be called directly,
and tooltip.el already has a way to tweak this.

But x-show-tip is called directly by various things (even things
in-tree), so I think it makes sense to add such a variable, and I've now
done so in Emacs 29.  (But not as a user option -- just a variable
mentioned in the `x-show-tip' doc string.)
