As someone who is more of a user, I'd think that if I give any options 
they would override the defaults, and it would be hard for me to debug if 
there were other default options that took effect when I gave options.  If 
you keep the default options when specific options are used, it would be 
helpful to at least give a warning that the other options were used.
