[IPython-dev] Default values for widgets

Currently, to get this you have to pass an actual Widget to interact:

interact(f, a=FloatSliderWidget(..., value=10), ...)

Even custom Widgets can be passed this way and they will work with
interact, as long as the Widget has a value attribute.

We decided that we wanted to keep the abbreviations as simple as
possible and just allow people to pass Widgets for the more
complicated usage cases. Part of this is that we are wanting to be as
slow/conservative as possible in introducing complexity to new APIs.
We want to see how this stuff works in practice and gather data from
our users (like this!).

Cheers,

Brian
