Are patterns in parameter declarations irrefutable? In other words, given:

    function foo({ opt1 }) { return opt1 }

What happens if we call foo()?
    1. An exception is thrown
    2. undefined is returned
I’d expect (2). If opt1 had a default value, I’d expect that value to be 
returned.

What happens if we call foo({})?
    1. An exception is thrown
    2. undefined is returned

I’m asking, because I’ve seen the pattern

    function foo({ opt1 = 3 } = {}) { return opt1 }

If explicitly marking something as irrefutable is necessary, I’d prefer:

    function foo({ opt1 = 3 }?) { return opt1 }


It’s a bit of a shame that destructuring and parameter declarations diverge, 
but I guess it can’t be helped.
