But the current spec does not say that. It says stop counting at the first
default, which doesn't really tell anyone anything useful about the
function's signature.
function f(a = 1, b, c, d, e, f) {}
f.length === 0; // Huh?
Unless I'm misreading...?
"Simple" may be in the eye of the beholder, but I contend that the above is
surprising.

A better reflection API sounds good, but your statement that length is not
useful is demonstrably false. API judgements aside, we know that it is
currently used with non-WTF results.
