Default function arguments

[David]

From what I've seen, Go doesn't support default function arguments?
Maybe I'm wrong in their implementation...
(I know struct members don't support default values, but I wasn't sure
if functions do).

// the following code doesn't work -- am I implementing something
wrong?
func something(a int, b int, c int = 5) int {
return a + b + c;
}

func main() {
resa := something(1,2,3);
resb := something(1,2);
fmt.Println(resa);
fmt.Println(resb);
}

Correct.

Is there a plan to add these optional parameters for go? I know you
won't be adding overloading so optional parameters would be really
helpful in some situations.
I use overloading in C# mostly for adding optional parameter values
(well until i can use C# 4.0 that supports optional parameters).

There is no current plan for this, beyond the existing varargs
support, which I acknowledge is not the same thing.
