Description
When writing tests for error cases using with pytest.raises(...), the code within the body will always generate a mypy error which must be ignored (if a project has sufficient static typing).
It would be great if pytest included a mypy plugin which can suppress the errors in these cases.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked aiohttp-session test example and the requested pytest.raises behavior. Determine the integration points needed for a mypy plugin, and consider the work done when errors inside pytest.raises blocks are suppressed without hiding unrelated type-checking errors.
