Agreed. And I think that it makes more sense than adding a new output
format only for --keys and extra checks in other places.

Besides this, I sent first patch of this series (the "default" output
format) to support -z with --keys [1]. If we change "keyvalue" to
"lines" maybe it wouldn't be useful.

So, now I'm thinking about dropping the first patch and replacing it 
by a new one renaming "keyvalue" to "lines".
