It was trivial to fix, so I just did.

Subject: 25.0.90; Eldoc displays incorrect information when parameters contain question marks

In emacs -Q, placing the point as indicated below causes eldoc to display “a: (X\=\?)” instead of “a: (X?)”.

    (defun a (x?)) ;; Eval this
    (a) ;; <-- place point before parens

This “\=” looks like the escape sequence that we use in docstrings; maybe that's a sign of something?

Clément.
