Frequency: Always Happens
Regression: Yes, this happens in all previous versions

Problem Description:
Currently, there is no way to detect whether a command parameter has a default value or what the default value is. It's important to help authoring and to command parsing.

I can use the AST to get the default value, but that works only for functions and scripts; not for cmdlets.
