Yes, because there doesn't seem to be any need for using it, as
default-value is unaffected by the let-binding.  I expected
default-value to return the value from let-binding, and
default-toplevel-value to return the global value, otherwise I don't
see why the latter is needed.  I guess I misunderstood something that
you and/or the doc string were trying to tell.

Thanks.
