Public bug reported:

See attached program for a trivial example of a common idiom:

"my special string %(with_a_variable)s"%locals()

I wouldn't expect pyflakes to know how to deal with an arbitrary
dictionary in the right hand position, but the use of locals() means
that certain variables are actually used!
