+Abstract
+========
+
+Function parameters can have default values which are calculated during
+function definition and saved. This proposal introduces a new form of
+argument default, defined by an expression to be evaluated at function
+call time.
+
+
+Motivation
+==========
+
+Optional function arguments, if omitted, often have some sort of logical
+default value. When this value depends on other arguments, or needs to be
+reevaluated each function call, there is currently no clean way to state
+this in the function header.
+
+Currently-legal idioms for this include::
+
+    # Very common: Use None and replace it in the function
+    def bisect_right(a, x, lo=0, hi=None, *, key=None):
+        if hi is None:
+            hi = len(a)
+
+    # Also well known: Use a unique custom sentinel object
+    _USE_GLOBAL_DEFAULT = object()
+    def connect(timeout=_USE_GLOBAL_DEFAULT):
+        if timeout is _USE_GLOBAL_DEFAULT:
+            timeout = default_timeout
+
+    # Unusual: Accept star-args and then validate
+    def add_item(item, *optional_target):
+        if not optional_target:
+            target = []
+        else:
+            target = optional_target[0]
+
+In each form, ``help(function)`` fails to show the true default value. Each
+one has additional problems, too; using ``None`` is only valid if None is not
+itself a plausible function parameter, the custom sentinel requires a global
+constant; and use of star-args implies that more than one argument could be
+given.
+
+Specification
+=============
+
+Function default arguments can be defined using the new ``=>`` notation::
+
+    def bisect_right(a, x, lo=0, hi=>len(a), *, key=None):
+    def connect(timeout=>default_timeout):
+    def add_item(item, target=>[]):
+
+The expression is saved in its source code form for the purpose of inspection,
+and bytecode to evaluate it is prepended to the function's body.
+
+Notably, the expression is evaluated in the function's run-time scope, NOT the
+scope in which the function was defined (as are early-bound defaults). This
+allows the expression to refer to other arguments.
+
+Self-referential expressions will result in UnboundLocalError::
+
+    def spam(eggs=>eggs): # Nope
+
+Multiple late-bound arguments are evaluated from left to right, and can refer
+to previously-calculated values. Order is defined by the function, regardless
+of the order in which keyword arguments may be passed.
+
+
+Choice of spelling
+------------------
+
+Our chief syntax proposal is ``name=>expression`` -- our two syntax proposals
+... ahem. Amongst our potential syntaxes are::
+
+    def bisect(a, hi=>len(a)):
+    def bisect(a, hi=:len(a)):
+    def bisect(a, hi?=len(a)):
+    def bisect(a, hi!=len(a)):
+    def bisect(a, hi=\len(a)):
+    def bisect(a, hi=`len(a)`):
+    def bisect(a, hi=@len(a)):
+
+Since default arguments behave largely the same whether they're early or late
+bound, the preferred syntax is very similar to the existing early-bind syntax.
+The alternatives offer little advantage over the preferred one.
+
+How to Teach This
+=================
+
+Early-bound default arguments should always be taught first, as they are the
+simpler and more efficient way to evaluate arguments. Building on them, late
+bound arguments are broadly equivalent to code at the top of the function::
+
+    def add_item(item, target=>[]):
+
+    # Equivalent pseudocode:
+    def add_item(item, target=<OPTIONAL>):
+        if target was omitted: target = []
+
+
+Open Issues
+===========
+
+- yield/await? Will they cause problems? Might end up being a non-issue.
+
+- annotations? They go before the default, so is there any way an anno could
+  want to end with ``=>``?
