I rather suspect that there will be two groups of people: those who
think as you do, and those who think that an explicit keep means
something different. To make it possible for everyone to be happy, we
would indeed need two options. But choosing names for them might be
tricky.
implicit_keep = {false|true}
That seems OK. Meaning "if nothing is done don't/do do a keep".
explicit_keep isn't really the same kind of thing. What you want is more
like
explicit_keep_means_pass = {false|true}
so perhaps we should also think about
implicit_keep_means_pass = {false|true}
as well.
Michael, how does that sound?
