Re: [RFC][DISCUSSION] Allow default value in list() syntax

This is true, I remember having done it in the past. I still think it would be nice and feel natural to have the default values directly built into the list construct. It would be a bit faster, because it does not have to allocate a new temporary array. Whether this difference matters depends on the case. In my own philosophy, every code that I write to be reusable, could at some point be used in a situation where it is repeated a lot, and thus has a performance impact. So for my taste, it does matter. This said, I understand it not having the greatest priority.
