I've been mulling this over, and am worried this is a bit too much
"namespace pollution".

I'm considering just adding a defaults() method, which would accept
arguments such as:
    defaults:
      inflators:
        DateTime:
          time_zone: 'Europe/Helsinki'

And deprecating element_defaults() - meaning it'll issue a warning
that it'll be removed in a future release, and it'll just internally
do a hash-merge with defaults->{elements}

Does that sound any better?
