Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the type checker's handling of local-variable assignments and the existing warning configuration; done means an explicitly enabled warning is emitted for assigned-but-never-read locals without warning by default.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The type checker should give a warning if a local variable is only assigned to but never read.
This is usually a result of a misspelled variable name.
Perhaps only do this if warnings have been explicitly enabled using a command line option or via some other mechanism.
