We can just list the allowed string values in the defaultParams
dict (which is actually clearer) and then dynamically generate
the corresponding validators; no need to expose them as separate
public API (which is not particularly useful anyways because how can
you know that it's validate_fontset for mathtext.fontset, but
validate_mathtext_default for mathtext.default?).

👍 in principle, it does read much better.

The _fix_validators() which works by mutating global state as a side effect is a bit annoying, but I don't see a better option.

Maybe delete the function after we call it and leave a comment about why we need to have it?

I did not carefully check that the lists of strings were copied correctly.

We can just list the allowed string values in the defaultParams
dict (which is actually clearer) and then dynamically generate
the corresponding validators; no need to expose them as separate
public API (which is not particularly useful anyways because how can
you know that it's `validate_fontset` for `mathtext.fontset`, but
`validate_mathtext_default` for `mathtext.default`?).

Actually it's not too hard to do without the helper function (and without leaking any temporary variables), it's just a dict comprehension. Edited accordingly.

(I didn't touch the case-insensitive ones yet because I haven't decided the best way to handle them, but it could be as simple as [_case_insensitive_marker_object, "blah", "blah"] which I think would still be an improvement readabililty-wise -- the marker object wouldn't leak out anyways as it'd be immediately consumed by the conversion to ValidateInStrings.)
