Logic error in wp_delete_term

[ipm-frommen]

Yesterday I was debugging some stuff related to term deletion. That's when I saw this:

if ( isset( $args['default'] ) ) {
    $default = (int) $args['default'];
    if ( ! term_exists( $default, $taxonomy ) ) {
        unset( $default );
    }
}

In effect, this does something like unset( 1 ); (in case the term with ID 1 is the default term). I suppose, this should be unset( $args['default'] );, right?

$args is never used later in the function. However, there are several isset( $default) checks. So unsetting $default in case a term doesn't exist makes sense.
