Notice that the default value is still `None`, so the parameter is still optional.

But now, having `Query(max_length=50)` inside of `Annotated`, we are telling FastAPI that we want it to extract this value from the query parameters (this would have been the default anyway 🤷) and that we want to have **additional validation** for this value (that's why we do this, to get the additional validation). 😎
