When adding a default value to a function, compress / minify can't optimize the function.
Describe the bug
When a function parameter has a default value, and that parameter is not used, the parameter (and consequently the whole function) are not optimized away.
Input code
const defaultMessage = "hello"
// write or paste code here
function x(x) { return x; }
function y(x, y, z) { return x; };
function abc(a) { return x(a); }
function abc2(a, x, z = defaultMessage) { return y(a); }
export function example() {
// output should be
// return `2 2 3 3`;
return `${x(2)} ${y("2")} ${abc(3)} ${abc2("3")}`;
}

SWC Info output
I'm only using the playground
Expected behavior
Behavior without the default value in the function parameter
When a parameter is unused, it shouldn't matter if it has a default value or not.
Actual behavior
function is not optimized away
Version
1.7.24 and newer (didn't test older)
Additional context
No response
I think https://github.com/swc-project/swc/pull/9636 may also solve this problem
Commenting again, due to bot-closures https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/8177#issuecomment-1825017067
Issue is still present in 1.11.24 (and nightly 1.11.25)
