libeio: discrepancy between the manual and the code

Hello,
libeio manual says that:
--quote
Even if cancelled, the finish callback will still be invoked - the callbacks
of all cancellable requests need to check whether the request has been
cancelled by calling EIO_CANCELLED (req):
--end quote
Yet in the implementation does not do this
(http://cvs.schmorp.de/libeio/eio.c):
#ifndef EIO_FINISH
# define EIO_FINISH(req) ((req)->finish) && !EIO_CANCELLED (req) ? (req)->finish (req) : 0
#endif
In my view, it's important to make sure the callback is always,
otherwise it's hard to reliably manage resources associated
with eio function arguments.
