Hello. Long time reader, first time issue raiser. Love your work.
In WebGPU, we have a lot of cases where we want to do something like this:
```
typedef unsigned long u32;
typedef u32 GPUColorWriteFlags;
interface GPUColorWriteBits {
const u32 NONE = 0;
const u32 RED = 1;
const u32 GREEN = 2;
const u32 BLUE = 4;
const u32 ALPHA = 8;
const u32 ALL = 15;
};
dictionary GPUColorStateDescriptor {
GPUColorWriteFlags writeMask = GPUColorWriteBits.ALL;
};
```
Note the default value on the `GPUColorStateDescriptor`'s `writeMask`. This is currently forbidden in WebIDL because:
```
DefaultValue ::
ConstValue
string
[ ]
null
```
I realise this isn't terribly common in Web APIs - most of the time your default value will be a constant value or a string from an enum. But it would be really nice to allow this type of dereferencing for WebGPU - saves you having to look up the constant value in the related interface.
