Re: [heycam/webidl] Allow dictionary default values to reference type members (#717)

The value is not purely limited to bitmasks, e.g. imagine an interface with a DEFAULT_TIMEOUT constant used in a dictionary in one of it's member functions.

I disagree. There is definitely way more overhead in taking in a dictionary and converting it (because of many accesses into a VM managed object) than converting one bitmask into another.
