Would this _syntax_ work with generic types:
def sum(seq: sequence[T], initial: T = T()) -> T.
This doesn't make sense with existing semantics because default
arguments are evaluated when the function is defined, but T() can't be
evaluated until the function is called.
Not to mention that if the seq is empty, there's no
way of knowing what T to instantiate...
