Description

I propose an option to only check on inline functions, i.e..catch((foo) => bar) and not.catch(baz). Ifbaz acceptsany, it's either from an external library or will be flagged by--noImplicitAny/no-explicit-any.

Use case: I have a few instances of.catch(console.error) in my codebase to log errors without throwing.console.error is typed as(...data: any[]): void, and as such this rule triggers an error.

Fail

Promise.resolve().catch((error)=>error)// Preserve old behavior

Pass

Promise.resolve().catch((error:unknown)=>error)// Preserve old behaviorPromise.resolve().catch(console.log)// Would previously errorPromise.resolve().catch(foo)// Would previously errorfunctionfoo(bar:any){}
