Did you know you can use a static variable as a default parameter?
class poncho {
static var color= "yellow"
func foo(color: String = poncho.color){}
}
I think instance members should not be allowed as default members though.
It may lead to unexpected behavior.

The downside to making it IUO or Optional is that that changes the type
signature of `index(i:offsetBy:)` for no reason other than a default
value. If you decide to change to or away from providing a default value it
probably shouldn't change the type accepted in that spot.On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Ben Cohen via swift-evolution < > swift-evolution@swift.org> wrote:

Oops, left out that there's this horrifying way of writing it right now:
extension Collection {
func index(_ i: Index! = nil, offsetBy n: IndexDistance) -> Index {

}Nobody wants that.
Oh I don’t think it’s all that bad! It also doesn’t need to be an IUO,
since you’re unwrapping it immediately into another variable no matter what.This also gives you the flexibility to write this:
extension Collection {
func index(_ i: Index? = nil, offsetBy n: IndexDistance) -> Index {
let i = i ?? (n < 0 ? endIndex : startIndex)
// ...
}
