Why should they be handled at all? If the programmer writes
def __init__(a, @b, @c=[]):
pass
then all instances that didn't have `c` given will share the same list -- just
like if the code was:
def __init__(a, b, c=[]):
self.b = b
self.c = c
The purpose of the syntax is to automatically save arguments to same-named
attributes, not to perform any other magic.
