Hi Sean, I'm using "implicit default" or "implicit argument" for the chains of less and less terse methods that eventually call the fully-explicit canonic one. There is a related idiom where the explicit argument is a block, and the implicit version either results in a sentinel value or signals an exception, e.g. ifAbsent/ifNone. This one I call "default case handler". In either case, I'm not convinced the name is that clear, so if you get by a nice one, I'm interested.
