Often, we will do something like this:

@riverpod
Task task(Ref ref) => getTask();

@riverpod
String taskName(Ref ref) => ref.watch(taskProvider).name;

This is great, but now if i wanted to invalidate or refresh taskNameProvider to get the latest value, it doesn't actually do anything, since we needed to invalidate/refresh taskProvider instead.

This request is to define some kind of invalidation forwarding. perhaps something like

@riverpod
String taskName(Ref ref) {
  ref.forwardInvalidation(taskProvider);
  return ref.watch(taskProvider).name;
}

which will decrease the overhead on callers, such that they no longer need to know the implementation

the only thing I can think of otherwise would be to do something like ref.onDispose(() => ref.invalidate(taskProvider)) but that doesn't actually work, since taskNameProvider could dispose for other reasons.
