Let me rephrase my question without using the word "default" (I've
changed the subject line also).

Is there a possibility - in the future - that we can set our compression
choice using an environment variable - like, say BORG_COMPRESSION -
instead of using the command line flag.  (BORG_REPO is an example of an
env var that is similar).
