Actually it sort of is documented: the section on special contexts which
mentions -default- and says that default implementations exist named
_context. Should there perhaps be findex entries there for each context?

Thinking about it, perhaps the original intention was that _dispatch
should be used but direct calls to _default are widespread and date
back to early times. How about the following.
