At this point, I don't think that the situation with default constructors and
structs is going to change. It's a result of requiring init properties for all
types, and is thus a "forced fault" in the language. From discussions on it in
the newsgroup, it seems likely that if we were to create a restricted default
constructor (one which didn't do the things that we can't let it do, because it
woludn't work with init), it would too restrictive to really be of much use
anyway. So, I think that all of that strays from the point of this bug.

Having a default argument for all of the parameters of a struct's constructor
should result in a compilation error. It's illegal. The language doesn't
support it. But rather than giving an error, the compiler currently just
ignores it.
