This would have been easier if C++ had allowed the same default value to

There is really no point to duplicating it. The default value goes into
the headers which is what is read by users of the code.
In GCC sources, I think users look at the function definition more
often than the declaration in the header, the latter of which
typically has neither comments nor parameter names.
