Copy and paste from that page gives

\override Clef #'space-alist = #'((ambitus extra-space . 2.0) (staff-bar 
extra-space . 0.7) (key-cancellation minimum-space . 3.5) (key-signature 
minimum-space . 3.5) (time-signature minimum-space . 4.2) (first-note 
minimum-fixed-space . 5.0) (next-note extra-space . 0.5) (right-edge 
extra-space . 0.5))

What's the problem? In this specific case, there is no easier
representation of that default setting that you can use.

Perhaps, what you have in mind is the very nice trick you showed in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-07/msg00688.html
which shows how to add a setting to this list. However, this has
nothing to do with how the default value is displayed. Rather, it's
you who very cleverly "misused" how nested properties are
represented internally in LilyPond.
