It is in this case, IMO.  I suggest that you take a quick look at
transient.el and consider whether it is easy to grasp without a decent
manual.  My firm opinion is that it is very hard for the uninitiated.

Jonas explicitly said he is working on this, so I find it hard to
believe that this won't be solved soon enough, worst case in time for
Emacs 29.
