yes true, it's even more annoying with eslint, you have to configure it
with https://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars#argsignorepattern for
example
To be fair I considered this case mostly for `Array.from({length: n}, (,i)
=> i)`, but it's easier to forget that comma. What's preferable is a whole
new syntax for ranges anyway (some people proposed
https://github.com/tc39/proposal-slice-notation/pull/32)
So in the end, having to ignore arguments is probably a sign of a 'bad'
design, or at least other possible better workarounds
