Re: get default options of Tk widgets

My question: is there a way to get the values that are used for options
of Tk widgets when they aren't specified? (the defaults)
Is there a command or a variable that can tell me, for instance, what
background color is used by default for Labels?
The "option get" command isn't what I'm looking for: it works for some
options, it doesn't for others:

% option get . font Label
helvetica -12
% option get . Foreground Label
%

That's what I'm trying to do:
I've got a proc that configures several widgets according to data stored
in arrays/lists.
This works well, now I need to "reset" some options of this widgets to
the default value. The problem is that I cannot know in advance what
options are to be reset, so I can't use hardcoded values...

Here's a simplified example of what I'm looking for

label .l -fg red

set option foreground
.l configure -$option {Here I need the default value...}

Of course I could create an array that contains all values that I need,
but if there's an easier way...

Usually one creates one widget of the appropriate type and uses
configure to read the default values of the options.
