Yup. BEAM files have literals stored in a single Deflated blob (https://beam-wisdoms.clau.se/en/latest/indepth-beam-file.html). So the scanning won't work.

Which means that either my patches should be merged or Git should be propagated. I'm not a super big fan of propagating optional dependencies, which is why I submitted the patch like this.
