Description

inject is great when, within a test, you want to simulate the user supplying an answer, but what about when you want to simulate them choosing the initial or default value? I can submit a PR if we can decide on how to implement this. My proposal is that if an injected answer is undefined prompts would just use the initial value. e.g.:

prompts.inject({ a: undefined })

Research direction
Examine the `inject` function implementation in the prompts library (likely in the source code). Review existing tests to understand the testing framework used. Discuss with maintainers on GitHub issue #44 to finalize the API design for handling initial values when inject is called with undefined. Consider implementing the suggested behavior and adding corresponding tests.
