[style default] and [style map] already work like other
"generalized accessors" -- [style default $style] returns
a dictionary of all specified option/value pairs, and
[style default $style -option] returns the current setting
for '-option' (or the empty string if none has been specified).

It doesn't (and won't) return a list of 5/2-tuples like
[$widget configure] does, since style settings aren't
implemented on top of Tk_OptionTables.  (Plus, the dictionary
representation is a lot easier for application code to
work with.)
