I thought about this approach as well but then you gotta think that
this is a plugin that others will use and possibly other plugins might
depend on it as well. Then if the defaults changed, the plugin that
depends on it could be confused and break. It is easy enough for a
devloper to setup their own set of defaults that would not cause an
issue like this.
var myHoverDefaults = { interval: 250 };
Now just pass that in and your set and don't potentially break any
other plugins.
As an example ... I'm updating my bgiframe plugin to accept an options
hash. If I allowed a developer/plugin to change the defaults then all
the plugins that depend on the defaults would then break.
Hopefully that all made sense ... I'm writing it in a bit of a rush.
