Useful situations for unnamed parameters:

* Declaring a delegate type

void delegate (int) dg;

* Declaring a function/method without implementation

void foo (int);

* Overriding/implementing a method where a parameter isn't needed

class Foo {
    abstract void foo (int a);
}

class Bar : Foo {
    void foo (int) {}
}


These are the situations I see it as might being useful but I would say that
adding names to the parameters adds documentation and that's always a good
thing.
