A similar effect can be achieved by implementing the `encoding.TextUnmarshaler`
interface and use strings.
#### Support for `default` struct tag has been dropped
This feature adds complexity and a poorly defined API for an effect that can be
accomplished outside of the library.
It does not seem like other format parsers in Go support that feature (the
project referenced in the original ticket #202 has not been updated since 2017).
Given that go-toml v2 should not touch values not in the document, the same
effect can be achieved by pre-filling the struct with defaults (libraries like
[go-defaults][go-defaults] can help). Also, string representation is not well
defined for all types: it creates issues like #278.
The recommended replacement is pre-filling the struct before unmarshaling.
