Well certainly all of the ones toward the end of the appendix in the RFC the RFC itself notes are
non-sensical. Personally, I'm not sold on the idea default should be an operand in an
expression at all though.
I do see the value of bitwise operators / expressions as highlighted in the RFC. There might be
other cases, but I'm wary of them -- I don't think giving developers the ability to write
logic and expressions against hard-coded default values in upstream APIs has a lot of merit in most
cases. I can tell you I doubt I would ever support the idea of calling methods of default , which
I'm still unclear if this RFC is proposing.
I would suggest a compromise where the RFC be refocused to those expressions and operators that
explicitly make sense, and leave the rest of them out for now. To me, that basically means
"default with bitwise expression support" based on what I've seen so far.
