Marshall wants assignment that does nothing if the name is already
assigned. He called this 'default', which it is in a high-level sense.
Most of us mean default in a low-level sense, i. e. always assign the
name, but use a default value if the user doesn't give one.

Ok, so, just to be clear - this has nothing to do with default assignment?
That said, it's probably intentional that there's no verb form of =:
(or =.). For example, given
is=: 4 :'(x)=:y'
consider:
'abc' is"0 i.3 4 5
Questions:
(1) what is
a+b+c
(2) how is this useful?
Thanks,
