Recursive functions are not detected as dead

Hi !
First : great work, I am in love with the pre-commit hook.
Here's a small issue I noticed : recursive functions are not flagged as dead as long as they at least call themselves.
How to reproduce :
Create the following function and never call it elsewhere. Then run pre-commit hook
def dead_function():
print("dead")
dead_function()
Expected result :
"dead_function is never called"
Actual result :
detect dead code.........................................................Passed

yep, there are callers so it will not detect it as dead
