Translating to JS as it is:

  var FOO = 42;
  function bar(x, y) {
    if (y === void 0) y = FOO + z;
    var z = 10;
}

Another benefit of the simple semantics: existing JITs can optimize easily, no new semantics to special-case. This is not a dominant concern but it is a selling point from my experience dealing with (and playing one on TV ;-)) implementors.
