Description
We discovered some potential false positives in pybind11 (see here) - specifically, a test like this reports:
with pytest.raises(TypeError):
y < object()
Might not be fixable, and this check has helped in other cases, but thought I'd point it out here.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the B015 report using the pytest snippet and reviewing the rule's implementation and existing tests. Compare the behavior with the pybind11 example linked in the issue. Done means determining whether this is a valid false positive and, if fixable, adding coverage so this case is not incorrectly reported without breaking the other B015 cases.
