False positive ``redefined-variable-type`` on ignored variables like ``_``

[nth10sd]

Bug description

cfg_ = configparser.ConfigParser()
cfg_.read(USER_HGRC)

At .read, basedpyright recommended setting shows warning: Result of call expression is of type "list[str]" and is not used; assign to variable "_" if this is intentional (reportUnusedCallResult)

I fix it by assigning it to _ via _ = (see the basedpyright Playground link) and fix it but now pylint shows:

R0204: Redefinition of _ type from list to object

May I know how best to fix this?

basedpyright version:

basedpyright 1.29.1
based on pyright 1.1.400

See DetachHead/basedpyright#1276 . Folks there seem to indicate this may be an issue with pylint's plugin instead, so filing here.

Thank you for opening the issue. It seems we could change redefined-variable-type / R0204 to not check ignored variables. I'm wondering if we should use the pylint option for ignored variable or only for _.
