I'm using express for routing and I don't need to use the Request object in my controller method. However, I can't find a simple way to force the exclusion of the Request parameter. 

This first example passes typescript validation.

```
  public async findAll(req: Request, res: Response) {
    // search the db for all transactions
    const transactions = await Transaction.find();

    res.status(200).send({ transactions, incoming: req.body });
  }

```

This example compiles into valid javascript but doesn't pass typescript validation as I get the error `'req' is declared but its value is never read.`

```
  public async findAll(req: Request, res: Response) {
    // search the db for all transactions
    const transactions = await Transaction.find();

    res.status(200).send({ transactions });
  }

```

Ideally I don't want to include the Request in my method parameter at all. Is this possible without an intricate workaround?
