Re: Syntax sugar for default arguments

[Sven Olsen <sven2718@...>]

function f(x,y=0) --> function f(x,y)  y= y==nil and 0 or y;

Ok, I'm wrong.  There's a bug in my semantic. What you actually want is probably:

function f(x,y=<const _expression_>) --> if y ~= nil then y= <const _expression_> end

Piggybacking on OP_OR or OP_AND just leads to all sorts of trouble in the boolean cases.
