Description
A lot of functions have illegal overloads when default value parameter is used. e.g. `assert.assert` package:
```
external fun equal(actual: Any, expected: Any, message: String = definedExternally)
external fun equal(actual: Any, expected: Any, message: Error = definedExternally)
<...>
```
All functions with default values are unusable in this module.
Using any of them causes:
```
e: <...>: Overload resolution ambiguity:
public external fun equal(actual: Any, expected: Any, message: Error = ...): Unit defined in assert.assert
public external fun equal(actual: Any, expected: Any, message: String = ...): Unit defined in assert.assert
```

Research direction
Start by locating the assert.assert external declarations shown in the issue and reproduce the overload resolution error with a default-valued function call. The work is done when those functions can be used without Kotlin reporting ambiguity between the Error and String overloads.
