This patch uses a narrow criteria - if `_get_values()` sets the value to `action.default`, then argument counts as 'not present'. I am setting a `using_default` flag in `_get_values`, and return it for use by `take_action`. In effect, the only change from previous behavior is that small ints (<257) now behave like large ints, strings and other objects. It removes the nonstandard 'is not action.default' test, and should behave consistently across all platforms (including pypy).
