As we're no longer tracking tuples across function boundaries, we lose
the result that related to this setup (which, as the preceding commit
explains, lead to a lot of false positives).
Removes the dependence on points-to in favour of an approach based on
(local) data-flow.
I first tried a version that used type tracking, as this more accurately
mimics the behaviour of the old query. However, I soon discovered that
there were _many_ false positives in this setup. The main bad pattern I
saw was a helper function somewhere deep inside the code that both
receives and returns an argument that can be tuples with different sizes
and origins. In this case, global flow produces something akin to a
cartesian product of "n-tuples that flow into the function" and
"m-tuples that flow into the function" where m < n.
To combat this, I decided to instead focus on only flow _within_ a given
function (and so local data-flow was sufficient).
Additionally, another class of false positives I saw was cases where the
return type actually witnessed that the function in question could
return tuples of varying sizes. In this case it seems reasonable to not
flag these instances, since they are already (presumably) being checked
by a type checker.
More generally, if you've annotated the return type of the function with
anything (not just `Tuple[...]`), then there's probably little need to
flag it.
The call to expect() below here updates 'token' and 'value' to that of the NEXT token (not the name).
The code happened to work because the 'value' field is only updated if a token with a relevant value is found. E.g. if a name token could be followed by another name, then we would have seen the wrong name here.
