Comment (by boonebgorges):

 >  Excluding a default parameter from the args I'm passing to the function
 is not an implicit waiver that I don't care about that arg.

 Agreed, but again, any plugin can currently do the following:

 {{{
 add_filter( 'get_terms_args', function( $args, $taxonomies ) {
     $args['orderby'] = 'id';
     return $args;
 } );
 }}}

 If you don't like the idea of plugins running roughshod over your
 parameters, then what you're really arguing against is the idea of having
 filters on argument arrays in the first place. What's being proposed here
 is simply the passing of additional data to an existing filter.
