add back defaulting for parameter decoding
At the beginning of 1.7, we removed the last "conversion causes defaulting". This broke the "default to true" behavior for exec and attach options, but we didn't notice. This removes the broken defaulter (you can default a non-point bool to true on an object) and adds back defaulting to parameter codecs.
