Kotlin inline function call vs function call with default type argument
Consider the following code:
fun foo(type: Class = Any::class.java) {

}

inline fun foo() {

}

fun main() {
foo() // ERROR!
}

This code causes the following error:

Type inference failed: Not enough information to infer parameter T in inline fun foo(): Unit
Please specify it explicitly.

Why doesn't the compiler just default to the non-inlined function, with a default argument?
