Unused variables: $request in AuthorizesRequests@authorizeResource

[sneakylenny]

I wondered what the variable $request param was used for in this method. After a little research with a mate it turns out it was left there unused after removing the $request variable from the method in a41f1b3, which was 7 years ago at the time of writing this.

VScode indicated it was unused which is how it stood out:

framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/Access/AuthorizesRequests.php

Line 83 in 0fde761

public function authorizeResource($model, $parameter = null, array $options = [], $request = null)

I wonder how long it will stay there 😆
