Beschreibung
This is a feature request for a new setting for LLS which would not diagnose unused-local for variables which are parameters of a function. Something like
"Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExcludeFuncParam": true
The reason I'd like this feature is because we have a Lua codebase that heavily relies on something similar to virtual functions, where there are many tables that have functions defined that share the same name and list of parameters, but some of these functions don't need to use all of the parameters. Think of something like this
function menu1:on_select_item(item, mouse_button) do_something_with_item(item) end
function menu2:on_select_item(item, mouse_button) do_something_with_mouse_button(mouse_button) end
Of course this could be changed to appeal to the current unused-local diagnostics by changing it to
function menu1:on_select_item(item) do_something_with_item(item) end
function menu2:on_select_item(_, mouse_button) do_something_with_mouse_button(mouse_button) end
but, besides doing the fixup being a lot of work, it makes maintenance of the code base worse because a programmer can't easily know anymore what those _ parmeters are supposed to be. Another alternative would be to add all known function parameter names to "Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExclude" (introduced via #619) but of course that also would be sub-optimal, because ignoring generic names like item could defeat the purpose of the diagnostic.
Besides function parameters, having an option to ignore for-loop variables would also be very neat. It's often easier there to substitute the name for _ but still, sometimes that loses important information on what the key/value of a for-loop over pairs(...) is. So something like
"Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExcludeForLoopVars": true
would also be very appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration, and of course for making LLS, it's awesome!

Rechercherichtung
Beginne damit, die Diagnose unused-local und die vorhandene Einstellung Lua.diagnostics.unusedLocalExclude zu finden. Ermittle, wie Funktionsparameter und Variablen in for-Schleifen erkannt werden, und definiere und teste anschließend die beiden angeforderten Optionen, sodass aktivierte Einstellungen nur diese Diagnosen unterdrücken, während andere ungenutzte lokale Variablen weiterhin gemeldet werden.
