Well, your point also sounds rational and I agree with you since code is
written for us not for luacheck. I guess we need investigate can we
suppress globally only unused args with the name <self> but still
reports others? Otherwise we can suppress it inline. Chunk-wide
suppression can lead to masked/false-negative errors.
