/// There are a few cases, notably [AppBar] and [TabBar], where it would be
/// undesirable for the widget to constrain its own size but where the widget
/// needs to expose a preferred or "default" size. For example a primary
/// [Scaffold] sets its app bar height to the app bar's preferred height
/// plus the height of the system status bar.
///
/// Use [PreferredSize] to give a preferred size to an arbitrary widget.

/// In many cases it's only necessary to define one preferred dimension.
/// For example the [Scaffold] only depends on its app bar's preferred
/// height. In that case implementations of this method can just return
/// `new Size.fromHeight(myAppBarHeight)`;
