Reflection doesn't provide a way to find out values of default arguments

[scabug]

We could at least expose the defaultGetter method from NamesDefaults.scala: https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/f5357d98a2adfada4998fcdaea680ddc6d8460f8/src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/typechecker/NamesDefaults.scala#L424.

Not sure how invocations will work though, because they might need stuff from lexical scope.
