`default` declaration doesn't allow higher-kinded types

Since we now have #10971 (closed), I would expect the following to work:

{-# LANGUAGE ExtendedDefaultRules #-}

module Bug where

default (Maybe, [])

But it doesn't. Sadly, the default default list contains [], but the user can never set this.

Fix on the way.
