RFC136 already suggests separating keys/values from each but
doesn't currently provide an alternative way of resetting the
each iterator.
I must admit it had never occurred to me that somebody might
deliberately use keys or values to achieve that, but I guess
somebody might be relying on it without realising it.
As far as I can tell reset %x currently tries to reset any
variables which start with either % or x even though no variable
can start with %...
