It is already in the user's manual, but I doubt that users actually
use tooltip-mode, since Emacs takes care of setting it up by default
according to the display capabilities.
I thought mentioning tooltip-mode in the ELisp manual was worthwhile
because some Lisp packages invoke it.

I tried to imagine what would I like to know if I needed to write a
mode with special tooltip support, similar to GUD (whose tooltip
support is part of tooltip.el).
