--[[
	Attempts to get the default value of a given property on a Roblox instance.

	This is used by the reconciler in cases where a prop was previously set on a
	primitive component, but is no longer present in a component's new props.

	Eventually, Roblox might provide a nicer API to query the default property
	of an object without constructing an instance of it.
