This is only correct if the default remains the same.  I often specify
things explicitly which are the same as the default precisely because
I want to ensure that it is that way whether the default changes or
not (I'm not sure in this case if the default is likely to change, but
that is a general principle worth considering).  In some cases, such
default arguments can be the source of nasty bugs, because changing
the default changes the function that is being called without the
caller being aware of it.
