"Keep" should always mean "fileinto INBOX", with the confusing exception
that "inbox" may not be inbox in some systems, like many things that aren't
IMAP.

It's pretty well mandatory that within the context of any SIEVE script 
run there has to be a default INBOX. For a user, this is their system 
mailbox (/var/mail/lyndon, user.lyndon.inbox, whatever). Scripts 
running outside the scope of a particular user would default to a 
generic system mailbox (root, postmaster, ...). Whatever the value of 
the current default INBOX is will be defined by the implementation. 
What's missing is a way to express this INBOX in the grammer.

But that's what keep means -- "fileinto inbox".
