It has a purpose when present to avoid introducing a transitive dependency
on hamcrest-core 1.3, which can happen with JUnit 4. So there is a reason this
is in dependencies list. However, that reason is not to introduce classes to
the dependency tree. When we see that it doesn't contain any classes we use,
the analyzer assumes that's it unused and unneeded but that's not the case.
