Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Sorry that I haven't been able to more clearly describe what's wrong here.

 The problem is there is no way, in a plugin, to know if `name` was
 explicitly passed, or was fallen back to as the default.

 I wrote a term-order plugin. I want to be able to orderby `term_order` by
 default instead of `name` and still want `name` to be available as an
 option if it's explicitly passed. As the code stands today, I cannot tell
 the difference.

 Does that help clarify?
