Thanks for the acknowledgement, Bernd!
I just committed the "ultimate" version using "if" or "switch", depending on the situation, to jangaroo-tools master, so the next release 0.9.10 will contain that optimization and thus make assigning parameter default values even faster!

Wait a second... I mixed up a few things. It is true that "arguments.length" was my first attempt and there was a reason why I came up with "undefined" - I just can't remember why I did that. Using "arguments" did trigger syntax errors in Falcon. But that only happened if I used "arguments" in ActionScript. In emitted JavaScript "argument.length" always works. Either way, "argument.length" is the way to go!

I like your solution better than the one that I was proposing in my blog post at http://blogs.adobe.com/bparadie/2011/11/26/classes-inheritance-interfaces-packages-and-namespaces/. In fact my first implementation was using arguments.length. But back then Falcon was throwing a syntax error for "arguments". My solution was a workaround but I never got around to switching back to arguments.length. Thanks for reminding me!
