  set_defaults(<target_type_name>) { <values...> }

  Sets the default values for a given target type. Whenever target_type_name is
  seen in the future, the values specified in set_default's block will be
  copied into the current scope.

  When the target type is used, the variable copying is very strict. If a
  variable with that name is already in scope, the build will fail with an
  error.

  set_defaults can be used for built-in target types ("executable",
  "shared_library", etc.) and custom ones defined via the "template" command.
  It can be called more than once and the most recent call in any scope will
  apply, but there is no way to refer to the previous defaults and modify them
  (each call to set_defaults must supply a complete list of all defaults it
  wants). If you want to share defaults, store them in a separate variable.

Example

  set_defaults("static_library") {
    configs = [ "//tools/mything:settings" ]
  }

  static_library("mylib") {
    # The configs will be auto-populated as above. You can remove it if
    # you don't want the default for a particular default:
    configs -= [ "//tools/mything:settings" ]
  }
)";

Value RunSetDefaults(Scope* scope,
                     const FunctionCallNode* function,
                     const std::vector<Value>& args,
                     BlockNode* block,
                     Err* err) {
  if (!EnsureSingleStringArg(function, args, err))
    return Value();
  const std::string& target_type(args[0].string_value());

  if (!block) {
    FillNeedsBlockError(function, err);
    return Value();
  }

  // Run the block for the rule invocation.
  Scope block_scope(scope);
  block->Execute(&block_scope, err);
  if (err->has_error())
    return Value();

  // Now copy the values set on the scope we made into the free-floating one
  // (with no containing scope) used to hold the target defaults.
  Scope* dest = scope->MakeTargetDefaults(target_type);
  block_scope.NonRecursiveMergeTo(dest, Scope::MergeOptions(), function,
                                  "<SHOULD NOT FAIL>", err);
  return Value();
