Considering how frequent this pattern (a callback where not all
instances use all parameters) is, maybe we could consider disabling the
warning with -Wno-unused-parameter instead of marking all places where
it is issued.

Once you fix it... it stays fixed.  There's no cost to carrying around
the extra annotation.
And the warning still finds other places where you're doing it wrong.
