Consider the docstring for venv.EnvBuilder:: By default, the builder makes the system (global) site-packages dir available to the created environment. By default, the creation process uses symlinks wherever possible. It seems to suggest that the `system_site_packages` and `symlink` parameters both default to True, even though the default values for each are False. The docstring for venv.create is similarly misleading.
