Key Path Expressions as Functions and Identity Key Path

Using Swift
1

The SE-0249 Proposal gives the following code as an example, but it doesn't compile.

[1, nil, 3, nil, 5].compactMap(\.self)
// error: cannot convert value of type 'WritableKeyPath<Int, Int>' to expected argument type '(Int?) throws -> ElementOfResult?'

Is this a known bug?

Yes, it's a known limitation, but I don't have a bug number offhand. I'll let others fill in the "why".
