Comment (by boonebgorges):

 We've generally moved lately toward not documenting parameters on wrapper
 functions if the default value doesn't differ from the lower-level
 function. That was my understanding when removing those lines in the doc
 block.

 The fact that items are defined in `$defaults` does not, IMHO, mean that
 those items ought to be listed in the function docblock. We pass the
 parsed `$r` array down through lower-level functions, and our `$defaults`
 declaration acts as a safeguard against lower-level changes in default
 values, not necessarily as a developer guide on how to use the function.

 That being said, I don't feel strongly. @SergeyBiryukov If you think that
 not having all of the arguments specifically spelled out here may cause
 confusion for developers, please go ahead and add them back.
