maybe, but I'm not sure if this is not a kind of overhead, because
we don't really have at this time a "defaulttab". It makes sense
for all options which are not of boolean and length. But especially
all boolean options don't need any default definition: they are
there (true) or not (false). This has nothing to do with a
definition of "what's the default".
Long speech, short sense: let an easy solution be easy ...
