Ah, ok. thanks. I've missed that indeed.

So I think we should allow "foo(auto x = 5)" in general. The type 
of default-parameters should be as unambiguous as the type of 
variable declarations (with init type).
At least that wouldn't need any new syntax and is 
self-explaining. Also it should be very easy to implement.
