B023: false positive for nested function inside loop #468

Description

@fwinkl

The following (admittedly bad) code produces what I think must be a false positive:

for _ in range(10):
   foo = []
   def bar():
      foo.append(42)

   bar()
test.py:4:7: B023 Function definition does not bind loop variable 'foo'.

At the very least the warning is confusing because foo is not actually a loop variable.

Using:

flake8 --version
