No, we don't want to go there, because then we'd have to worry about
keeping the default list in sync with what's supported by the particular
version of the particular library we chance to be using.  That's about
as far from transparent as you can get.  A notation like "DEFAULT"
is really quite ideal for our purposes in that respect.
