With const generic defaults stabilized (#90207), the reference should talk more about what the restrictions are.
- What are valid expressions for the default? I assume it has to be a constant expression, are there other restrictions?
- Presumably this is a const context, so I think "default const parameters" should be added to that list.
- Restrictions on the type of the default expression. I believe it must be the same type as the declaration, but can there be any coercion?
- Const defaults are only allowed on struct/enum/type/trait, but not fn or …
Are there other details about const generic defaults that can be added?
Note: default generic parameters are not documented at all. That is a separate issue (#24). That would also be great to complete, but I think can be done somewhat separately of this issue.
