Description

I have discovered that default parameters on ctors are not supported. I would like to request that this feature be supported. Here is a code snippet that can show it works/does not work:

class Bug6 {
a

Bug6(aa = 23)

{ a = aa }

static void main(args)

{ b = new Bug6() if(b.address != 23) println "default args don't work on constructors!" }

}
