With emacs -Q, insert (setq fill-column 70) to the *scratch* buffer and
move the point over fill-column.  With the current master, the echo area
shows:

  setq: ([MYM VAL]...)

With Emacs 26.1, it shows:

  fill-column: Column beyond which automatic line-wrapping should
  happen.

Thanks.

This was very easy to fix, so I did it immediately.
elisp-eldoc-var-docstring should come before elisp-eldoc-funcall in
eldoc-documentation-functions.

You can also experiment with setting eldoc-documentation-strategy
eldoc-documentation-compose, if you want to see both pieces of
documentation.
