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.
