   > I've found another case, similar to the previous one, in which the visibility of a class member affects the result of this type of check. However, this time it affects a method parameter instead of a local variable. Look at this:

   >     public static void checkParameter(int myParameter) {
   >                                     // ^^^ This variable should be marked as unused,
   >                                     // but it isn't.
   >     }

   I think it is intentional to not mark unused parameters in public methods since removing them would change your public API, breaking code using that method.
