/**
 * Provides a form element for an HTML 'hidden' input element.
 *
 * Specify either #default_value or #value but not both.
 *
 * Properties:
 * - #default_value: The initial value of the form element. JavaScript may
 *   alter the value prior to submission.
 * - #value: The value of the form element. The Form API ensures that this
 *   value remains unchanged by the browser.
 *
 * Usage example:
 * @code
 * $form['entity_id'] = array('#type' => 'hidden', '#value' => $entity_id);
 * @endcode
 *
 * @see \Drupal\Core\Render\Element\Value
 *
 * @FormElement("hidden")
