Sysimage documentation bug

[NegaScout]

In section Compilation of functions https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/dev/sysimages.html#tracing, a snippet julia -JExampleSysimagePrecompile.so --trace-compile=stderr -e 'import Example; Example.hello("friend")' is used, however it does not work as of 1.10.1 and error is thrown:

❯ julia -JExampleSysimagePrecompile.so --trace-compile=stderr -e 'import Example; Example.hello("friend")'
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.getproperty), NamedTuple{(:exception, :backtrace), Tuple{ArgumentError, Array{Union{Ptr{Nothing}, Base.InterpreterIP}, 1}}}, Symbol})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.display_error), Base.TTY, Base.ExceptionStack})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Core.kwcall), NamedTuple{(:bold, :color), Tuple{Bool, Symbol}}, typeof(Base.printstyled), Base.TTY, String})

Similar error is thrown, when changed import to using. However, in the documentation is shown, that the snippet works.

The correct way (or the way that works) is julia -JExampleSysimagePrecompile.so --trace-compile=stderr -e 'Example.hello("friend")', since the module is already loaded and does not need to be imported.
