is this a intended behavior of .withDefault? It appears the only case I can actually get the default is by using .getValue

[Andreas Sinz]

yes, as stated in the documentation This implicit default value is used when the original map doesn't contain a value for the key specified and a value is obtained with Map.getValue function, for example when properties are delegated to the map. https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/with-default.html

Is there any impairment to enable .withDefault for other Map methods?

[Andreas Sinz]

It would violate the Map-Interface-Contract, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-11851

Thanks a lot
