Forgot to mention: ReflectionProperty::hasDefaultValue() needs to be fixed or better documented as
well.

Description:
------------
Currently when you declare a promoted property with a default value the
ReflectionProperty::getDefaultValue() won't return that value.
I'm not sure if this behavior is expected or not but in either case something needs to be
changed.
If this behavior is unexpected then it should be fixed to return the correct value.
If this behavior is expected then the documentation of ReflectionProperty::getDefaultValue() should
mention this drawback along with a few lines of code how to get to the relevant ReflectionParameter
and get the value there.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class X {
public function __construct(
public bool $y = false
) {
}
}
var_export((new ReflectionProperty('X', 'y'))->getDefaultValue());
Expected result:
----------------
Either the value should be returned or this behavior needs to be documented.
Actual result:
--------------
The default value is not returned and there is no mention of this behavior in the documentation
