[Xy-pic] What are the default entry modifiers in xygraph, xymatrix, and xymatrix@1?

Unfortunately not, because it's the other way around: \xymatrix@1 has
*smaller* margins than plain \xymatrix. To see this, just examine the
following at 100% in your previewer:

$X\to x'$ vs $\xymatrix{X\ar[r]&X'}$ vs $\xymatrix@1{X\ar[r]&X'}$

Part of Ross's answer (not copied here --- see his message) indicates
that the smaller margin may be due either to entry modifiers or to a
different value for \objectmargin. Either way, I would like to mimic
Xy-pic's behavior perfectly.

CHALLENGE: using only Xy-pic kernel code, produce results *identical*
to $\xymatrix{X\ar[r]&X'}$ and $\xymatrix@1{X\ar[r]&X'}$.

Help!
