And pyflakes also has a check for this, but it is similarly tight.
https://github.com/pyflakes/pyflakes/pull/51
It seems that the pyflakes maintainers tend to only accepts patches
for scenarios that Python does emit a SyntaxWarning.
So it is a bit of catch-22 there wrt unused constants.
pylint of course reports these unused constants with its message id
"pointless-statement".
