Expression Bodied Members and Default Expressions, Hand in Hand

Immediately after implementing the C# 7.1 default expressions in Sharpen I ran them on the NHibernate code. And here is one of my absolutely favorite findings.

The EmptyMapClass<TKey, TValue> class contains the following indexer:

public TValue this[TKey key]
{
    get { return default(TValue); }
    set { /* Omitted for brevity. */ }
}

After applying both the C# 7.0 expression bodied members for getters and the C# 7.1 default expressions the getter strips down to a single word only!

public TValue this[TKey key]
{
    get => default;
    set { /* Omitted for brevity. */ }
}

Why do I like this example so much? For me, it demonstrates, almost symbolically, the elegance and expressiveness of the modern C#. We have much less to type and to read. Sometimes, just a single word. It is up to the compiler to figure out the “missing parts”.

What do you think of this small real-life example found by the help of Sharpen? Are you thrilled about it the same way I am, or you see it as a hard-to-digest syntax sugar? ;-) The comments are below, waiting for your opinion :-)
