I upvoted it. Don’t let it derail more important work, though!

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. If that is a definite requirement, please say so on https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8207168 and I will follow up. Thanks Srikanth
