New issue 1520 by pekka.klarck: Invalid values for `--RemoveKeywords`
option should fail execution and not be skipped
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1520
Currently invalid values for --RemoveKeywords option are silently ignored.
This is a bad practice because users don't see was the value they provided
correct or not. This should be changed so that invalid values cause an
explicit error.
The only problem is that changes like this are backwards-incompatible. I
doubt anyone is actively using invalid values for this option, though, so
this shouldn't be a problem. If someone actually uses an invalid option,
probably they are happy to learn about this.
There is a potential, but unlikely, use case where a default value is
needed for this option, for example, in a custom start-up script, and that
default value should not remove any keywords. To support this use case, we
can easily add new `NONE` mode to --RemoveKeywords that does nothing.
