I know that I can easily add an item trailing the list with a Spacer of height 64.dp (This is due to the 48.dp Extended FAB default minheight and a 16.dp spacer from the bottom of the fab to the bottom Nav bar), but I'm wondering if there is a better approach.

Copy code
private val FabSpacing = 16.dpc

Without a public property, we are forced to hardcode our own based on the private one, and then have silent layout issues if they ever change the actual private value in the future
