Public bug reported:

gettext module provides convenience function gettext.install() that
injects a callable _ [single underscore] into builtins, so that
internationalized code can be written like this:

print _("text")

pyflakes reports every _ as undefined symbol.

moreover since it is injected in builtins, all imported modules have
that symbol, thus the following works:

# main.py
import gettext
import somemod
gettext.install(...)

#somemod.py
print _("text")

I'm not sure what sort of heuristic could be used to recognize _() when pyflake checks somemod.py.
Perhaps a command line argument for extra builtins?
