Indee, you are totally right.  I use the arrow keys quite often for
navigating in the current line, and nowadays they are not equivalent to
C-g and C-b anymore.  The former is left/right-char, while the latter is
forward/backward-char.

So the left/right-commands should be added to `eldoc-message-commands',
too.
