Description

[`ParameterInfo.DefaultValue`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.reflection.parameterinfo.defaultvalue?view=net-7.0) may return `Type.Missing` if parameter is optional, but no default value in metadata (probably COM interop case). Same for [`ParameterInfo.RawDefaultValue`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.reflection.parameterinfo.rawdefaultvalue?view=net-7.0#system-reflection-parameterinfo-rawdefaultvalue)

See implementation
