is there any way to inherit super class default constructor values?

open class A(val a: String, val b: String = "hello")

class B(a: String, b: String, c: String) : A(a, b) {

}

in this scenario would it be possible to have

b

arg in class

B

have default value

"hello"

while being DRY?

There's no nice way to do that I'm afraid.

companion object

comes to mind, but yeah, nothing elegant as in inheritance, you still have to specify them.

What would you do with a companion object?

@karelpeeters store the default values and then reference them
