Mapping `get` method forces to pass default value

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. define document
>>> class Doc(Document):
>>>   pass
2. store it
>>> doc = Doc(id='abc')
>>> doc.store(db)
3. Try next code
>>> doc = db['abc']
>>> doc.get('are you real?')
None
>>> doc = Doc.load('abc', db)
>>> doc.get('are you real?')

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to have same behavior as for raw documents - get method returns None 
if item was not found, but I see this exception instead:
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: get() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
couchdb-python-0.9@40a0a8cdf420

Please provide any additional information below.
I suppose that raw documents and "objective" documents must have same behavior 
for same methods, especially due to dynamic nature of couchdb. why not?

Thanks for the bug report. I agree that the get() method should have a 
default=None arg to match the dict API.

However, in case you haven't noticed yet, mapping.Document does not support 
dynamic items - only explicitly added fields are stored. Defined fields will 
have a default value of None so the get() method is probably redundant in most 
situations.

Dynamic fields may be occured by document model inheritance and also you may 
add/remove fields in any time for your model.
