default parameters and C#

Hello,

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how come default parameters were
left out of the C# specification. It seems to me that this feature
from C++ comes in handy at times despite the fact that the same
goal can be accomplished by overloading a method with different
signatures. I would appreciate any comments on the subject
matter.

Thank you for your feedback,

Neil
