Yes, but why wouldn't it be useful to do the same with types? Used to be we
had procedures with parameters where you supplied values. Then we advanced
to generic procedures where you supply types. So if its useful to specify
default values for regular parameters, why wouldn't it be useful to specify
default values for generic parameters?
