Thank you for the feedback. Obviously, bad experiences with inp=2 are
over-expressed here, so it's good to hear the other side as well.
I think eliminating the default for inp is probably the best way to go
here. And while I agree users should know all of the relevant parameters,
it's too much of a change to rip out all of the defaults, in my opinion. I
think we've learned that silently changing them is a bad thing, so in cases
where no clear "best practice" or "most common" choice exists, that value
should be specified explicitly.
Thanks,
Jason
