In my project I have a sealed class with an empty subtype that I use as default argument in a constructor. For that to work I need a static constant of that type, which I currently have to create myself as a top level field. This PR allows the writer to generate those constants as static const field inside the sealed class.

Unfortunately for that I needed to remove the factory method that was previously generated for such subtypes, which is a breaking change. If this isn't acceptable, this could be solved with an optional parameter on the
@Sealed()
annotation controlling the code generation. But before I go there, I'll wait for feedback if this is a welcome addition at all here first.Excerpt of generated code:
