Yes. Also related:

One extremely common and important use-case of allowing it is 
this:

foo(string[] args..., string file = __FILE__, size_t line = 
__LINE__);

Right now as soon as you introduce variadics you can forget about 
using __FILE__/__LINE__ at runtime (unless you resort to some 
inner-template tricks, but that only works in some cases 
methinks, probably not at runtime).
