It's definitely possible, I've just added something like this to VLD:

Description:
------------
When a constant is used for the default value of an optional parameter, the
Reflection API (tries to) resolve(s) the constant to its value and then returns
it as the default value.
In addition, I would like to have two additional methods in ReflectionParameter
that expose 1) whether or not a default value "is a" constant and 2) the name
of the constant.
In the example below, I am using temporary names ("defaultValueIsConstant" and
"getDefaultValueConstantName") for these two methods because I cannot think of
sensible method names right now.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
class Foo {
const bar = '...';
public function baz($bar = self::bar) {
}
}
$m = new ReflectionMethod('Foo', 'baz');
$p = $m->getParameters();
foreach ($p as $_p) {
var_dump($_p->getDefaultValue());
if ($_p->defaultValueIsConstant()) {
var_dump($_p->getDefaultValueConstantName());
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
string(3) "..."
string(9) "self::bar"
Actual result:
--------------
string(3) "..."
