Shortening default(T) is the same problem as removing the redundant cast around a lambda whose delegate type the context already fixes, so it uses the same mechanism: ConvertTo makes the explicit type implicit when the conversion is an identity conversion and the caller allows an implicit one. The literal keeps the type it was shortened from, so any later conversion to a different type - or any context that requires an explicit type, such as an overload resolution recheck falling back to CastArguments - can spell default(T) out again. That keeps the value intact where the bare literal would change it, e.g. "object o = default(SomeStruct)", which boxes a non-null struct while "default" would be null. Because the shortened literal resolves to DefaultLiteralResolveResult, CallBuilder's existing overload resolution recheck sees a real default literal and rejects ambiguous calls on its own; no separate bookkeeping about which arguments may stay untyped is needed. Only the contexts that supply no target type at all restore the explicit form: an awaited expression, and arguments of operator methods, which later become operator or cast syntax rather than calls.
