In shading_language > uniforms Add example of `hint` with default value

Your Godot version:

4.1.stable

Issue description:

In this page: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/shaders/shader_reference/shading_language.html#uniforms

There is not example of a hint with a default value... and there is not solution for this in Google :?

It would have saved me a precious hour of my time if I would have seen an example like:

uniform float variable : hint_range(0.1, 10.0) = 1.0;

In the documentation

I added a SO question/answer to be indexed by Google:

I am a bit confused by this issue since there is an example in the docs:

shader_type spatial;

uniform vec4 color : source_color;
uniform float amount : hint_range(0, 1);
uniform vec4 other_color : source_color = vec4(1.0);
uniform sampler2D image : source_color;

Admittedly this particular example is a general example but you do see the usecase here.
Also, there is a list with all the hints and their syntax explained:

Just for clarification: I am not against amending it but it seems like the information that is already there isn't clear enough.

@paddy-exe the docs show how to do a hint and how to have a default values, but they don't say that the default values comes after the hint. So an example would clear that up

Ah now I get it. Thanks for clarifying👍🏻 that would be indeed clearer

Is anyone working on this issue? If not, I'd like to take it.

Not that I know of. It's a good first PR for beginners so you can take it 👍🏻
