You may now have optional parameters in functions.
	[example--
	void foo(int x = 25)
	{
		Trace(x*2);
	}
	foo(); //Traces '50'
	foo(10); //Traces '20'
	--end example]

Optional parameters cannot have any non-optional parameters listed after them.
The default value for an optional parameter must be compile-time constant.
