False positive with --warn-unreachable when an instance variable is modified inside a for loop

[autosquash]

Bug Report

mypy mark as unreachable code that is perfectly reachable, perhaps because it interprets an instance variable typed as Optional to always be None.

To Reproduce

from typing import Optional

# executed with --warn-unreachable

class A:
 x: Optional[int]

 def execute(self) -> None:
 self.x = None
 for i in range(3):
 if self.x is None:
 self.x = 10
 else:
 self.x = 20 # error: Statement is unreachable [unreachable]
 print(self.x)


a = A()
a.execute()
