Title:
  Pyflakes is unable to recognize string substitution as a use

Status in Pyflakes:
  New

Bug description:
  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!
