Thanks for your comments. I would like to hear what other people think
about the `null` case. I find it useful but if other people think it is
unnecessary, it can be easily removed. In any case, the $default would not
be used in this case

And, no, no warning will be thrown if any part of the path does not exist,
being able to easily support not existing paths is one of the main reasons
for this RFC

Cheers
