## Summary
Checks for the presence of redundant `Literal` types and builtin super
types in an union. See [original
source](2a86db8271/pyi.py (L1261)).
This implementation has a couple of differences from the original. The
first one is, we support the `complex` and `float` builtin types. The
second is, when reporting diagnostic for a `Literal` with multiple
members of the same type, we print the entire `Literal` while `flak8`
only prints the `Literal` with its first member.
For example:
```python
from typing import Literal
x: Literal[1, 2] | int
```
Ruff will show `Literal[1, 2]` while flake8 only shows `Literal[1]`.

While implementing this rule, I found a bug in the `is_unchecked_union`
check. This is the new check.
1ab86bad35/crates/ruff/src/checkers/ast/analyze/expression.rs (L85-L102)
The purpose of the check was to prevent rules from navigating through
nested `Union`s, as they already handle nested `Union`s. The way it was
implemented, this was not happening, the rules were getting executed
more than one time and sometimes were receiving expressions that were
not `Union`. For example, with the following code:
```python
typing.Union[Literal[5], int, typing.Union[Literal["foo"], str]]
```
The rules were receiving the expressions in the following order:
- `typing.Union[Literal[5], int, typing.Union[Literal["foo"], str]]`
- `Literal[5]`
- `typing.Union[Literal["foo"], str]]`
This was causing `PYI030` to report redundant information, for example:
```python
typing.Union[Literal[5], int, typing.Union[Literal["foo"],
Literal["bar"]]]
```
This is the `PYI030` output for this code:
```shell
PYI030 Multiple literal members in a union. Use a single literal, e.g. `Literal[5, "foo", "bar"]`
YI030 Multiple literal members in a union. Use a single literal, e.g.`Literal[5, "foo"]`
```
If I haven't misinterpreted the rule, that looks incorrect. I didn't
have the time to check the `PYI016` rule.
The last thing is, I couldn't find a reason for the "Why is this bad?"
section for `PYI051`.
