Fix the defaults?

Honestly, I'm not sure how I've been programming for so long (30+ years) without having to add half a dozen annotations to every single declaration.

"If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor and when was the last time you needed one?

Same applies to Swift at this point.  Its jumped the shark on annotations.
