Description

I'm not sure how the analyzer is even _finding_ the function whose return value it insists is being used, from a test suite file that's not referenced in any way from the flagged code file.

Obviously this code uses the return value of *a* function. In fact, its return value _may_ be `None`. But there's no way to tell that it's _always_ `None`, because the function called is dynamically determined.
