* Lisp Changes in Emacs 24.4
...
** New macro `with-eval-after-load'.
This is like the old `eval-after-load', but better behaved.
Emacs 24.4 was released on 20th October 2014.
eval-after-load is considered ill-behaved because it is a function, not a macro, and thus requires the code inside it to be quoted, which means that it cannot be byte-compiled. It also accepts only one form, so if you have more than one, you need to use progn. For example:
(eval-after-load "foo"
'(progn
(setq foo 42)
(setq bar 17)))
The equivalent version with with-eval-after-load would be:
(with-eval-after-load "foo"
(setq foo 42)
(setq bar 17))
As noted by Clément in a comment, one disadvantage of with-eval-after-load is that you cannot rely on macros defined in the module in question, while with eval-after-load you can be sure that such macros are defined and available to use. This was discussed on emacs-devel.
