Repro Code

classFoo<T>{value:T}classBar<T>{foo=Foo<T>}newBar()

ESLint Config

module.exports={"rules":{"@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars":["error"]}}

tsconfig

{"compilerOptions": {"strictNullChecks":true  }}

Expected Result

To pick up that T infoo = Foo<T> is being used.

Actual Result

'T' is defined but never used. 5:11 - 5:12

Additional Info

The ability to modify function references with generics is a new feature in TS 4.7, so this is probably the reason the rule hasn't updated yet to support it.
