Can you please post a canonical 99% use case that you use? I cannot suggest an 
alternative otherwise. I need to understand what coding problem you have been 
solving with default args.

For example, the basic use case of default args is just a shorthand for doing 
function overloads:

     int foo(int a = 5) { ... }

becomes:

     int foo(int a) { ... }
     int foo() { return foo(5); }

Many use cases involving templates can be resolved by using alias template 
parameters.

But I don't know what your use cases are.
