Correct. It matters because originally keys were only associated with watches.
So, I needed the rule writer to declare that this is going to be a syscall or
watch rule so that I can error check appropriately.
Keys do not apply to rules like, -b or -e, so I still want to see the rule
type ahead of a key option so that errors are caught.
