JSDoc to suppress a single "Unused local variable"

I have a variable that I declare as an enum so that I can use it to documentation variables and parameters that take on a restricted set of values.  Something like this:

    /**
     * Possible values for the position of a widget.
     * This object exists solely for documentation.
     * @enum {string}
     */
    var POSITION = {
        "left": "left",
        "right": "right",
        "center": "center"
    };

    /**
     * Return the position that is the mirror opposite of specified position
     * @param {POSITION} pos
     */
    function mirrorPosition(pos) {
        return pos === 'left' ? 'right' :
            pos === 'right' ? 'left' :
                pos;    // center
    }

Webstorm flags the variable POSITION as unused.  Is there a way to suppress the inspection for just this variable?  If not, should WebStorm be smart enough to consider usages in JSDoc to be usages?

WebStorm 10.0.4 seems to correctly resolve POSITION usages - no warnings are reported:

Anyway, you can suppress such warcings by adding

//noinspection JSUnusedLocalSymbols

above declaration, like:

//noinspection JSUnusedLocalSymbols
  /**
 * Possible values for the position of a widget.
 * This object exists solely for documentation.
 * @enum {string}
 */
var POSITION = {

You're correct that my standalone example generates no warning. However, I'm using the require.js framework, and this slightly more complicated example still has the warning:

define(
    [],
    function() {
        /**
         * Possible values for the position of a widget.
         * This object exists solely for documentation.
         * @enum {string}
         */
        var POSITION = {
            "left": "left",
            "right": "right",
            "center": "center"
        };

        /**
         * Return the position that is the mirror opposite of specified position
         * @param {POSITION} pos
         */
        function mirrorPosition(pos) {
            return pos === 'left' ? 'right' :
                pos === 'right' ? 'left' :
                    pos;    // center
        }

        return mirrorPosition;
    });

Fortunately, the noinspection comment works.

Should I file a bug report?
