Sorry for top posting! It's pretty hard to write email walking under
heavy rain and umbrella.
So, I talked about special key, not default behaviour.
Let me give you an example.
You got a server (or ten) which was/were somehow configured before you.
You want to reconfigure it/them. You don't care how and where it's
already configured, you just want to set particular rcvars and be sure
that no other rcvars are set.

Before you came it was:
mysql_enable=3D"YES/NO" # no matter
mysql_datadir=3D"/mycozystorage/db/mysql"
mysql_defaults_extra_file=3D"/mycozystorage/mysql/my.cnf"
mysql_plugin_dir=3D"/somewhere/lib/mysql/plugin"
mysql_log_error=3D"/mycozystorage/db/mysql/hostname.err"

then you run something like (look at -k key)
# service -k mysql-server enable set datadir "/mysqldb" log_error
"/mysqllogs/hostname.err"
it becomes
mysql_enable=3D"YES"
mysql_datadir=3D"/mysqldb"
mysql_log_error=3D"/mysqllogs/hostname.err"

I. e. sets what requested and deletes rcvars which was not requested.
