const _desc = r'Use initializing formals when possible.';

const _details = r'''

**DO** use initializing formals when possible.

Using initializing formals when possible makes your code more terse.

**BAD:**
```
class Point {
  num x, y;
  Point(num x, num y) {
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
  }
}
```

**GOOD:**
```
class Point {
  num x, y;
  Point(this.x, this.y);
}
```
