Will, or should, Elixir 1.20 types warn on this?

Will, or should, Elixir 1.20 types warn when a struct is in a list and a struct’s key is mistyped? Only the uncommented Enum.reject line produces a warning (and already pre-1.20, at least in 1.18). Is there a plan that the shorthand (Enum.reject(& &1.c == 1)) will also warn?

defmodule A do
  defstruct [:b]
end

def test do
  [%A{b: 1}]
  |> Enum.reject(fn %A{} = a -> a.c == 1 end)     # warns
  # |> Enum.reject(fn a -> a.c == 1 end)  # doesn't warn
  # |> Enum.reject(& &1.c == 1)           # doesn't warn
end

Apologies for a potentially ignorant question, as I haven’t been following the compiler development closely.

It will eventually warn on shorthand. The code looks simple but getting this particular example to warn via the type system requires parametric types (and a lot of work behind the scenes!).
