If someone says "I want only MyClass > >here!", why he should be able to put 5 there? I think I mentioned something pretty close to this (maybe I used forceable instead of nullable). However, it's not really obvious to me why you should be allowed to do the default assignment in this case. Can someone either give a quick example as to why I would want to assign a default value like this? Other than that, +1 on nullable in concept.
