How to stretch an icon to fill parent?

Question

I need an icon that will dynamically stretch to fill the parent container.

I don't think this is possible directly on the Icon (since it only has a size property), but is there another solution I'm overlooking?

I believe you can use FittedBox with Expanded:

new Expanded(
    child: new FittedBox(
      fit: BoxFit.fill,
      child: new Icon(Icons.home),
    ),
),

Please note the in the docs that Expanded has to be wrapped in a Column, Row or Flex widget.
