There isn’t anything clever that I can see. I’ve used two approaches in the past:
1 – Your plugin’s activation code could save all your default options, so that you never need to use the second parameter to get_option Really, this equates to your…
default value for setting that have not yet been saved.
2 – You could define a set of constants for the default values, and then use those constants for the second parameter to get_option
