False negative | No binding for nonlocal found

def outer():
  nonlocal a
  a = 1
outer()

• pylint gives a success
• but if you comment out a = 1 pylint also finds the missing binding

SyntaxError: no binding for nonlocal 'a' found

Created this as I thought this would deserve its own issue since it was not the original subject of #6812

[da-dada]

there is a somewhat similar behaviour with global

A = 1
class Foo:
    global A
    A = 2

print(Foo.A)

I beg your pardon if I have entered this comment the wrong way again, but I simply don't find a template or anything like it you have been mentioning

@da-dada can you view this template for reporting a bug? https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug%2Cneeds+triage&template=BUG-REPORT.yml

@mbyrnepr2 I'll give it a try

Created #7098 so that the current issue can stay focused on the original nonlocal issue.
