:config-in-call for :aliased-namespace-var-usage ineffective in quoted forms

Windows 11, native, scoop.

problem

Inside quoted forms, such as a typical macro's body, :config-in-call does not seem capable of disabling the :aliased-namespace-var-usage linter. This can make it difficult to weed out false positives when using macros that can validly accept :as-alias-qualified symbols.

repro

(ns repro
  (:require [clojure.test.check.generators :as-alias gen]))

(defn resolve-alias [sym]
  (let [ns-sym   (symbol (namespace sym))
        sym-name (name sym)]
    (symbol (or (some-> *ns* ns-aliases ns-sym ns-name str)
                (namespace sym))
            sym-name)))

(defmacro res [sym]
  `@(requiring-resolve (resolve-alias '~sym)))

(defmacro sample [sym]
  `((res gen/sample) (res ~sym))) ; warning here

`(res gen/string)                 ; warning here

(sample gen/string)               ; no warning here

> clj-kondo --lint .

config

{:config-in-call {repro/res    {:linters {:aliased-namespace-var-usage {:level :off}}}
                  repro/sample {:linters {:aliased-namespace-var-usage {:level :off}}}}}

expected behavior

I expect the configuration provided above to disable these warnings, as it did for the final line.

Yeah, this should be disabled by default, using vars like that in syntax-quote is valid without loading the namespace
