Thank you for the confirmation.

What I am saying here is that, although this behavior was fine for objects,
it is not enough for scalars. One of the main arguments in favor of the
adoption of this syntax was that null was the only possible default value
for objects anyway. This obviously is not the case with for scalar types.
This is why I suggest a different syntax (which can also be used by object
types for consistency).
