The trouble with with-eval-after-load is it arranges for the body to be byte-compiled, whereas eval-after-load does not. I won't go into how they do that here, but it causes us some trouble: Macro calls in with-eval-after-load are eagerly (immediately) expanded at startup, whether or not the package or macro is available and regardless of its execution path. This sucks for Doom because, when expanded, autoloaded macros will be loaded, along with whatever baggage they've got with them, and this happens long before they're actually used. We also can't guarantee those macros are available at startup, which will cause void-function errors when the interpreter later treats them like an ordinary function call. So, the simple fix is to pass a quoted body form to eval-after-load instead of the closure that with-eval-after-load will wrap it in. This means the body won't get byte-compiled if we compile our config, but in exchange, macros stay lazy-loaded until they're finally needed! Wonderful.
