Free `default()` forwarding to `Default::default()`
It feels a bit redundant to have to say `Default::default()` every time I need a new value of a type that has a `Default` instance.
Especially so, compared to Haskell, where the same functionality is called `def`.
Providing a free `default()` function that forwards to `Default::default()` seems to improve the situation.
The trait is still there, so if someone wants to be explicit and to say `Default::default()` - it still works, but if imported as `std::default::default;`, then the free function reduces typing and visual noise.
