"multiple overloaded alternatives of method ... define default arguments"

[Kevin Meredith]

Why can't I overload two methods with default arguments, as shown below?

$scala

Welcome to Scala 2.12.0-M3 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_51).

Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

scala> :paste

// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)

def f(x: Int, y: String = "bar") = true

def f(x: Boolean, y: String = "foo") = false

// Exiting paste mode, now interpreting.

<console>:9: error: in object $iw, multiple overloaded alternatives of method f define default arguments.

object $iw {

       ^

Thanks,

Kevin
