Using 'default' as default answer in inputdlg.

I'm using an inputdlg prompt for user input and one of the options for another program I'm using is an input of the string 'default'. As such, I'd like one of my default answers for the user in the inputdlg to be the string 'default'. However, when I use 'default' as a default answer, inputdlg uses an empty string instead (I assume this is a keyword). Is there a way to ignore this so that 'default' may be used?
Example:
defans = {str,date,'default','',''};
output = inputdlg(prompt,dlg_title,num_lines,defans);

Using 'default' (with a lower-case ‘d’) appears to be prohibited. When I experimented with it, 'Default' and 'DEFAULT' displayed as expected.
