Type checkers would also be free to interpret it as "infer the type from
the default value", rather than necessarily treating it as Any.

I still wonder about the "fields *must* be annotated" constraint though. I
can understand a constraint that the style be *consistent* (i.e. all fields
as annotations, or all fields as field instances), since that's needed to
determine the field order, but I don't see the problem with the "no
annotations" style otherwise.

Cheers,
Nick.
