Parens around guard patterns wrongly assumed unnecessary

[WaffleLapkin]

I tried this code:

#![feature(guard_patterns)]
#![expect(incomplete_features)]

fn main() {
    let (_ if false) = ();
}

I expected to see this happen: no warnings.

Instead, this happened: unused parens warning:

warning: unnecessary parentheses around pattern
 --> src/main.rs:5:9
  |
5 |     let (_ if false) = ();
  |         ^          ^
  |
  = note: `#[warn(unused_parens)]` (part of `#[warn(unused)]`) on by default
help: remove these parentheses
  |
5 -     let (_ if false) = ();
5 +     let _ if false = ();
  |

Note that removing parentheses makes the code not compile:

error: expected one of `:`, `;`, `=`, or `|`, found keyword `if`
 --> src/main.rs:5:11
  |
5 |     let _ if false = ();
  |           ^^ expected one of `:`, `;`, `=`, or `|`
