To summarise, when-let/if-let have been deprecated in Emacs 31 so it is
best to stick to the star'ed variants.  The rewriting of
`eldoc-diffstat--format-output-buffer' might be controversial, but I
feel that using a regular expression to destruct the buffer feels more
robust.

It would also be nice if you could add a .elpaignore file to exclude the
screenshot from being bundled with the tarball.

> It provides a way to display VCS diffstat information via eldoc.  I.e.,

> For example (though it uses ansi-colors and fontification, so you might
> prefer to look at the screenshot in the repo):
