How can I create a "non-autodispose" provider with riverpod_annotation?

Observations

if I create a provider using riverpod_annotation as follow

import 'package:riverpod_annotation/riverpod_annotation.dart';

part 'foo.g.dart';

@riverpod
String foo(FooRef ref) => 'foo';

said provider will needlessly be a AutoDisposeProvider<String> rather than just a Provider

final fooProvider = Provider((ref) => 'foo');

Question

How can I generate a regular provider with riverpod_annotation?
