[68cat][ide]Use new <classname>() instead of null for parameter guessing

[Alied Pérez Martínez]

Hi all there, I hope have had a nice week-end.
I want to propose the use of new <classname>() instead of null in
parameter guessing, where there are no other options. Anyone else agree?

[Matthies, Niklas]

I don't think I agree, as it would almost never be the right thing in the code I write, and it would be more cumbersome to replace than "null" (where "mark word" can be used). At the very least, it should only be done if the type in question has an accessible default constructor. Even then, I'd rather not have that.
