I previously made a PR (#136140) that used `switch` expressions to make some parts of the Flutter codebase easier to understand. It was assigned to the framework team, and @christopherfujino let me know that it was too large to effectively review and recommended breaking it up into smaller pull requests.
Here's a PR that only targets files in the `dev/` directory. Hopefully this will be easier to work with!
(solves issue https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/136139)
This enables our various date picker classes to have a null `initialDate`.
It also fixes the logic of some of the widgets which used to do something when you _changed_ the `initial*` parameters, which is wrong for `initial*` properties (they by definition should only impact the initial state) and wrong for properties in general (behaviour should not change based on whether the widget was built with a new value or not, that violates the reactive design principles).
Fixes https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/638.
This PR aims to support Android's predictive back gesture when popping the entire Flutter app. Predictive route transitions between routes inside of a Flutter app will come later.

### Trying it out
If you want to try this feature yourself, here are the necessary steps:
1. Run Android 33 or above.
1. Enable the feature flag for predictive back on the device under "Developer
options".
1. Create a Flutter project, or clone [my example project](https://github.com/justinmc/flutter_predictive_back_examples).
1. Set `android:enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true"` in
android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (already done in the example project).
1. Check out this branch.
1. Run the app. Perform a back gesture (swipe from the left side of the
screen).
You should see the predictive back animation like in the animation above and be able to commit or cancel it.
### go_router support
go_router works with predictive back out of the box because it uses a Navigator internally that dispatches NavigationNotifications!
~~go_router can be supported by adding a listener to the router and updating SystemNavigator.setFrameworkHandlesBack.~~
Similar to with nested Navigators, nested go_routers is supported by using a PopScope widget.
