No, I meant to keep var:type:default when both are present, but to change
the current ambiguous syntax that allows both var:type and var:default when
only one of the two is present.  var:type would be retained but defaulting
with no type coercion would be written as var::default

No, that would be a proposal for a new feature, rather than a change
to an existing feature.
