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 })

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review how the `inject` function currently handles values and modify it to treat `undefined` as selecting the initial/default value. Look at the test suite to understand existing behavior and add tests for the new case.
