I concur - how about a new .default property? It's pretty clear that it resolves to the default value for this type (x.default==X.default), unlike .init, which is the value this variable is initialised to (and is the same as .default for types) :)

Also, agreed that the old behavior ought to be reverted for 1.x and this would only go to 2.x.
