Comment #3 on issue 859 by pekka.klarck: Additional listener attributes to
differentiate suite/test setup/teardown from other keywords.
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=859
A problem with adding new methods is that then multiple methods (e.g. both
start_test_setup and start_keyword) would be called upon every setup and
teardown. Just adding the attrs is also easier to implement. Most likely
that's eay enough to be done in 2.6.
You are correct that suite and test level setup and teardown should be
separated.
