I understand that you see a problem, but
the outcome of the suggestion may need
to be verified. Consider a code base where
everything is passed via smart pointers.
You see a function call like this:

  service->CreateConnection(nullptr, URL, nullptr, nullptr, payload, nullptr);

Every parameter, presumably other than
the first two, defaults to nullptr. Does
it help, to change the call into

  service->CreateConnection(nullptr, URL, default, default, payload, default);

?

It looks like "explicit default" looks
equally good or bad compared to its prior
arts.
