Swift 6.2 introduces a new default value parameter for string interpolation that allows developers to provide fallback strings for optional values without type constraints. This feature addresses the common problem of handling nil values in string interpolation, offering a cleaner alternative to nil-coalescing operators or String(describing:). However, the feature currently has limitations with localization as LocalizedStringKey doesn't support the default parameter.
