Got it. Yes, no specialities. In case you deem it necessary I could add 
an assertion to an existing test. Something like:

```
class Foo { public function __construct( public readonly string $a = 
'bar') {} }
var_dump(new 
ReflectionClass(Foo::class)->getProperty('a')->hasDefaultValue()) // 
bool(false)
```

To me it feels just not too related, and in other reviews I got 
commented for over-testing.
But up to you. Feel free to let me know.

Maybe "no specialities" can "promote" you from team abstain to team yes. ;)
