[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] Bug in NiftiDataset possibly fixed

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Hi Per!

Thanks a lot of looking in depth at the situation ;-)

Explicit default values were set for the convenience of the user who
could simply '?' method in ipython to get instant idea of what default
parameters are.

I haven't yet looked into the changes (last 2 days were heck of
experience... a kid got sick... ER etc...) -- will do tomorrow, but I
wanted to share my idea about other default parameters handling we have
now -- primarily in obscured classifiers like Proxy and combined
classifier.

I think we should come up with a generic collection of default arguments
(plain dict can serve as a starting point). This way it will be
centralized, thus any user who wants to tune defaults through-out the
code can do that easily. I will come up with more details and more
reasoning about that later (after I enter back in the pymvpa development
world ;))

Cheers
Yarik
