Is this a good choice of default in the face of potential mistyping when
entering commands, or cut&paste editing of scripts. It's easy to see
cases of mismatched KEY_2 VALUE_1 entries.
Wouldn't it be better to warn about un-matched key/value pairs?

Shouldn't the man page entry indicate that it's '<n>' ?
