about non-existent options

[Denis B. Roegel]

If I write

\framed[framed=off,background=lions]

I get a frame, apparently because ``framed=off'' is considered nil.
I should have written ``frame=off''. It would be nice if this led
to an explicit error.

I once had something like that running [years ago] but the overhead was too
large, also in resources. Maybe some day ...

Perhaps we could create a special 'debug' version of context? Even if it
is a completely different format, like cont-end instead of cont-en (d
for debug). It would be handy sometimes to verify that your syntax is
correct (even if it does run very very slow, it will still be faster
than 'tracingall' and much more comprehensible)

I'll give it a thought. Can probably go together with the new docu project
and low level cleaning up.
