Is this a contradiction in the docs ?

It's exactly what eval is for : evaluate a single expression and return 
its result ! Try with strings : you can't even evaluate a statement ! 
You can only evaluate an expression !

And what would be the return result of a sequence of statement ?

If you want to execute a sequence, you want to use exec, not eval ...
