I would expect anyone interested in a given feature to get familiar
with its documentation in the first place. If they neglect to do that
and then find this message, it is absolutely fair to expect them to go
and look into the documentation after all.

Yes, I do.

Yes, this makes sense to me.

I'm not sure about the typededf, but I have no strong opinion against it either.

For the sake of consistency, either use the typedef here, or don't use
it at all.

Otherwise LGTM.
