The annotation 'preResolve' can only be used on methods.

After upgrading to the latest version 2.4.1, I'm getting the following warning in one of the examples used in the documentation:

The annotation 'preResolve' can only be used on methods

@module
abstract class RegisterModule {
  @preResolve
  Future<SharedPreferences> get prefs => SharedPreferences.getInstance();
}

Ignoring the warnings is not a solution.

Switching from getter to a method like this will solve the warning

@module
abstract class RegisterModule {
  @preResolve
   Future<SharedPreferences> prefs() async => await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
}

If preResolve shuold no longer be used with getter, the documentation should also change the example to avoid confusion.
