## Summary
- Type checkers (and type-checker authors) think in terms of types, but
I think most Python users think in terms of values. Rather than saying
that a _type_ `X` "has no attribute `foo`" (which I think sounds strange
to many users), say that "an object of type `X` has no attribute `foo`"
- Special-case certain types so that the diagnostic messages read more
like normal English: rather than saying "Type `<class 'Foo'>` has no
attribute `bar`" or "Object of type `<class 'Foo'>` has no attribute
`bar`", just say "Class `Foo` has no attribute `bar`"

## Summary
We currently infer a `@Todo` type whenever we access an attribute on an
intersection type with negative components. This can happen very
naturally. Consequently, this `@Todo` type is rather pervasive and hides
a lot of true positives that ty could otherwise detect:
```py
class Foo:
attr: int = 1
def _(f: Foo | None):
if f:
reveal_type(f) # Foo & ~AlwaysFalsy
reveal_type(f.attr) # now: int, previously: @Todo
```
The changeset here proposes to handle member access on these
intersection types by simply ignoring all negative contributions. This
is not always ideal: a negative contribution like `~<Protocol with
members 'attr'>` could be a hint that `.attr` should not be accessible
on the full intersection type. The behavior can certainly be improved in
the future, but this seems like a reasonable initial step to get rid of
this unnecessary `@Todo` type.
## Ecosystem analysis
There are quite a few changes here. I spot-checked them and found one
bug where attribute access on pure negation types (`~P == object & ~P`)
would not allow attributes on `object` to be accessed. After that was
fixed, I only see true positives and known problems. The fact that a lot
of `unused-ignore-comment` diagnostics go away are also evidence for the
fact that this touches a sensitive area, where static analysis clashes
with dynamically adding attributes to objects:
```py
… # type: ignore # Runtime attribute access
```
