Speed up
Originally I have (when str (display)), but that leaves childdrame
unchanged.
To work around that I added (eldoc-box-quit-frame).
Now childframes are cleared up nicely but it lagging.

(when (stringp str) (display)) works. (although I don't know why (when
str) doesn't, even though eldoc-messaeg passes nil to message function)
