Comment (by rhaas):

 yes, they should. They do not however. From PUGH/param.ccl:
 {{{
 BOOLEAN periodic_x "Periodic boundary conditions in x-direction"
 {
 } "yes"
 }}}

 From Carpet/param.ccl:
 {{{
 BOOLEAN periodic_x "do not use this parameter"
 {
 } "no"
 }}}

 the choice for Carpet is understandable: no reason to set the default
 value for a paramter to something that we don't support anyway (periodic
 boundaries). Also the test in Carpet's ParamCheck routines makes sense in
 this respect since it tests if the paramter has been changed (but not its
 actual value).
