I am surprised that ResolvedDefaultType extends ResolvedMemberType rather than ArgumentType directly. While the Inference behavior could be indirectly modelled it as if the class has a generic factory method named 'default':

<T> static Foo<T> default() { ... }

this implementation detail could be pushed deep down and not manifest here and in  elsewhere (setPolyKind())
