One default message for multiple keys

[filipcro]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have many forms in my application. Some of them have email field. Now if I want to specify a default message and custom key I need to use <Trans id="auth.email">Email</Trans> every time.

If i use <Trans id="auth.email">Email</Trans>, I can't use <Trans id="auth.email" /> anymore because extract command will throw error:

Error: Encountered different defaults for message auth.email
src/components/auth/ForgottenPasswordForm.js:27 undefined
src/components/auth/LogInForm.js:36 Email
(...)

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like that once default not-undefined value is specified, it overrides all undefined ones. This will simplify translations and minimize code repetition.

Hi @filipcro, thank you for reporting. Indeed, there's a bug on this line:

js-lingui/packages/cli/src/api/extract.js

Line 25 in df10717

if (prev.defaults !== next.defaults) {

Would you like to send a PR? Thank you 🙏
