Peter R,

Given Galaxy can handle this (even if it is a bit awkward to do),
what are the other interfaces / wrapper developers where
context dependent defaults may be an issue?

It isn't an issue for Biopython (although our wrappers are all
hand coded for now, rather than being generated from the
EMBOSS ACD files - a possible student project one day?)
