JsHint, can I target all unused parameters in a function definition instead of just last?

This is more a sanity check idea. Currently unused:true only makes sure the last function parameter is used, but sometimes I want to make sure that I'm using what everything passed in. Is there an override to make see all unused function parameters?

This seems to have changed between version 1.0.0 and version 1.1.0. The following code raises three warning with 1.0.0 but only one with 1.1.0:

/*jshint unused: true */
(function example(a, b, c) {
    /* Don't use any of the arguments */
}());

Looking at the JSHint source (in particular, the warnUsed function) it appears that the unused option has gained some new functionality. You can now set it to 1 of 3 new values (it's set to last-param by default):

var warnable_types = {
    "vars": ["var"],
    "last-param": ["var", "last-param"],
    "strict": ["var", "param", "last-param"]
};

By setting it to strict, the above example will once again raise 3 warnings, 1 for each argument, instead of just 1 warning for the last argument:

/*jshint unused: strict */
(function example(a, b, c) {
    /* Don't use any of the arguments */
}());
