I'm begging, please throw early errors as much as you can! There is no
reason for the language to encourage stupid or confusing code.
Default arg values are a convenience introduced to improve readability.
It's been introduced after the experience of functions starting with
several "x = x || v" lines. I wish it was kept to that and not introduce
new ways to write confusing code.
