[developers] Expanding a grammar with defaults

Thank you.

The value of *description-persistence* is L, and the only default I could
find was:

lexeme := canon-sign &
 [ ORTH [ LIST [ REST #last ],
          LAST #last ],
   SYN [ HEAD.TOPIC /l -,
         LEX +,
         VAL.GAP <! !> ],
   SEM [ HOOK [ LTOP #ltop,
                INDEX #index ],
         KEY #key & [ LBL #ltop,
                      ARG0 #index ],
         RELS.LIST.FIRST #key ] ].

So it looks as though we are in luck :-).

Is there any way of testing for the existence of persistent defaults?
