What's changed?

Since Java 22 unused variables can be named "_"

What's your motivation?

Using an "_" makes it explicit a variable is not used.

Did quite a bit of touch up already, but also found an issue with the approach you've taken. Need to see if we can correctly detect and ignore such cases.

Great to see this one covered before the release.

Would you mind setting this as the active recipe in your IDE, running it against the ~thousand or so Apache project LSTs, just to see if we uncover any edge cases that need handling before a merge?
