+cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases.  If you run Vulture on
+both your library and test suite you can find untested code.  Due to Python's
+dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are likely to miss some
+dead code.  Also, code that is only called implicitly may be reported as
+unused.")
