My point is not that the code is correct and the compiler is wrong.  To
make it crystal clear, my point is that the following situation is
confusing and we should make it less so.  At least the author of
el-easydraw agrees[1] with me.

1. This compiler error only appears in Emacs >= 30.
2. This compiler error does not appear if native-comp-speed < 2.
3. It's not clear from the manual and the docstring that the code is
wrong.
4. It is not clear how to fix this error.

It would be even better to mention how to fix this error.
