If the changes to ref and const ref that were discussed during the beta are 
fully fleshed out and implemented, then it'll be perfectly legal to pass a 
temporary value to a ref in many cases (if not in general), in which case 
having them take a default argument wouldn't be a problem at all. But as long 
as ref can't take temporaries, having it take a default argument makes no 
sense at all.

Agreed.
