Hi!

I noticed that a line of "=======" in "[Service]" cases the message " Unknown lvalue '' in section 'Service'".
(systemd 228)

Shouldn't that be "Parse error at '=======' in section 'Service'"?

Arguably it isn't a parse error – the keyfile parser successfully recognizes the line as assigning the value "======" to the key "". It's only later when the parsed results are interpreted that each key is matched to an internal handler.

The error message could be clearer if all such errors had a common "Parse error:" prefix, I guess. (And what's the point of calling it an 'lvalue' anyway?...)
