The default value in this case is the end result of at least a hundred
lines of C code.

That's a good point.  W2H isn't like that, but some other interface
might be.  I
guess it won't hurt to add a couple of extra booleans to cover those
variables
whose default is difficult to calculate prior to the program running.
