+
+    Django's ArrayField requires a callable to be passed for the ``default`` kwarg, to
+    avoid sharing a mutable value shared by all instances. This custom class provides
+    a straight-forward interface so that defaults can be provided inline rather than
+    requiring a function to be defined at the module level, since lambda's cannot be
+    serialized for migrations.
+
+    Usage:
+
+    >>> field = ClaimField(default=ClaimFieldDefault("foo", "bar"))
+    >>> field.get_default()  # ["foo", "bar"]
