My "vote" if one has to be chosen:
Preferences are very important. This isn't a "vote" in the sense that the one with the most choices will be selected, but I always want to hear people's preferences.

I don't like "defer" because it implies things that aren't true, and I really don't like *x=default since it would be very confusing with *x meaning "collect zero or more positional args", but the others are all at least somewhat viable.
Explicit is better than implicit.
That's what everyone says. Even people who are advocating precisely opposite viewpoints. :) ChrisA
