  var obj2 = Child('a', 0, collection: ImList([1]));
  print(obj1 == obj2 ? '\u2705 equal!' : '\u274C Not equal');

  // obj1.collection.add(2);
  // The method 'add' isn't defined for the type 'ImList'.

  // So now that we have a clear view in our source code, it's time to fix this!
  obj1 = obj1.copyWith(collection: obj1.collection.mut..add(2));
  print(obj1 == obj2 ? '\u274C equal!' : '\u2705 Not equal');

  // Two things to notice here:
  // - we used `mut` getter to mutate the initial collection for shorter syntax. This is a shortcut (forward method) for `List.of`.
  // - we didn't had to wrap again the collection to be immutable, this is done in generated code.

  // obj1.copyWith(id: 'b');
  // The named parameter 'id' isn't defined.
