where I also accept *args and **kwds when the default value is to be called. It's certainly doable with a flag, but note that I have to check the flag every time in both __getitem__ and setdefault.
Alternatively, always use a function for the default value, and set _func to lambda: x when working by value :)
Cheers, Nick.
