Rendering your example:
https://3v4l.org/qb5QR/rfc#tabs Admittedly, the expectation for default values to work seems legit and we are currently discussing whether to support default values on callable types signatures or not (inclined to do not support). But honestly I haven't seen a legit use case when we already have the ability to satisfy the callback with a smaller type.
