I think we will end up with some user-level syntax for referring to a VT's default value by name. Something like VT.default. It would compile directly to a defaultvalue instruction. Perhaps via a tree that strongly resembles a global constant reference in VT. Hmm, nice how all that hangs together… T.default is what we used in Model 3.

Yeah; I think it's probably safe to add to current prototypes. Not hard to change if we decide to do something else later.
