The reason I was given is that given
function f(a = 5, b) {
}
f(6);
it's not clear whether that maps to (a=6,b=undefined) or to (a=5,b=6).
That said it's pretty clear to me that it maps to the former. On the
other hand, it sure would be handy to be able to do f(undefined, 6) and
have it come out with (a=5,b=6).
