2 of them are forms of brevity.

To me the whole picture is important. And the context as well.

Individual aspect becomes more important when it feels to be an outlier.

I.e.

In 1 line one can create a dictionary, initialise it with reasonable keys and 
2-values tuples and find the key of the maximum of tuple sums… Elegantly.

But one needs 3 lines of code to resolve default value.

This is an exaggeration, but serves to convey my point.

But again, this is not about this individual case. This thread has started from 
new dict.get method, and not by me. I am just trying to see what is the common 
factor as similar problems have been bothering me too.

To me by now, it is about custom user expressions.
