But then that would mean it does the same as eval-after-load.
The whole point of with-eval-after-load is that it doesn't do the
"double evaluation" of eval-after-load (which was a frequent source of
errors/confusion).

Do you have some suggestion for how we could change
with-eval-after-load's doc to avoid your confusion?
