Using @Default annotation and required together ....

[stephenhauck]

When I try to make a field / property have a default with the @default annotation it does not allow me to also mark it as required ...
Just confirming this is because by having a default it will always have a value ?

This is intended, take this NON-freezed as an example:

class DataClass {
  final String name;
  final int id;
  final double value;

  DataClass({
    required this.name,
    required this.id,
    this.value = 100.0, // you can't add a `required` on value
  });
}

If I remember correctly this @Default() annotation is used, so that all the generated constructors and functions (also the one's from json_serilizable), will know about this default value.
