This has never been allowed. The only thing that was allowed was defining an
enum as a default value for integer parameters. But then again, you could also
define a char, a floating point value, a string, or really anything as default
value for any kind of parameter. The compiler was simply missing any kind of
type checking for the default value.

That defines the size, not the type.

As mentioned above, that never worked in the past either.
