Subject: [sv-bc] is `end_keywords necessary?

If a `begin_keywords directive appears in a verilog source text, does
there have to be a corresponding `end_keywords?
The lrm examples suggest that there is always a matching `end_keywords,
but the lrm text itself doesn't explicitly require it.  I actually don't
see the need for an `end_keywords, and requiring it just adds a burden
to the user.

Suppose I want to read some v2k files in sv mode.  It would be
convenient to do:

    verilog_tool -sv v2001.h file1.v file2.v ...

where v2001.h contains the one line:

    `begin_keywords "1364-2001"

without having to add a final end.h which contains just `end_keywords.
