    We exclude names in list pylint.constants.EXTRA_DUNDER_METHODS such as
    __index__ (see https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/6795)
    since these either have no alternative method of being called or
    have a genuine use case for being called manually.

Additionally, we exclude classes that are not instantiated since these
    might be used to access the dunder methods of a base class of an instance.
    We also exclude dunder method calls on super() since
    these can't be written in an alternative manner.
