The reasoning is interesting, even though I disagree that it would cause 
even more special syntax. The syntax exists since Java 5 already:

String foo() default "";    // default value syntax for annotations
String foo() default {...}; // (old) default method syntax
String default foo() {...}; // (new) default method syntax (!?)
