If default is not given, it defaults to None, so that this method never raises a KeyError.

I think that's supposed to mean that it won't raise
KeyError as a result of the key not being in the
dictionary. The actual behaviour is correct, IMO,
because it avoids masking bugs, so this could probably
be worded better.
