Repro Code

const { abort } = new AbortController();

abort();

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/unbound-method": "error"
  }
}

tsconfig

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

Expected Result

The error message should tell me what's wrong, and optionally give a hint as to how I can fix it. If the type comes from a .d.ts outside of my control -say, node_modules/ or lib.*.d.ts- then there's no need to suggest changes to the type signature such as annotating with this: void.

Actual Result

Avoid referencing unbound methods which may cause unintentional scoping of `this`.
If your function does not access `this`, you can annotate it with `this: void`, or consider using an arrow function instead. 

Additional Info

Maybe we just remove the "If your ... annotate it with this: void" from the error?

Thanks @mattpocock for accidentally reminding me to file this, I'd been meaning to for a while. 😄 https://x.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/status/1838944653401375048
