fixes #1132
Add a new diagnostic E0459 that warns on statements that are expressions and the first operator is either
==,===,!=or!==.While adding this I had to change several tests (especially ones relating to redundant string case checks) from
test_parse_and_visit_statementtotest_parse_and_visit_expression, as they were causing false positives. The changes should not affect the tests in any way.Also, I was thinking that maybe this could be widened (or a second diagnostic could be introduced) for statements that are completely redundant (e.g.
x+y;)? If this is implemented expressions that can have side effects likex(),x.a()orx() ? y : zwill have to be checked for, as warning on these could advise removal that would incorrectly affect program flow. I would think false positives could also be quite likely.
