 Mypy's analysis is limited to individual symbols and it will not track
 relationships between symbols. For example, in the following code
 it's easy to deduce that if :code:`a` is None then :code:`b` must not be,
-therefore :code:`a or b` will always be a string, but Mypy will not be able to tell that:

 Tracking these sort of cross-variable conditions in a type checker would add significant complexity
 and performance overhead.
