Assert all touched

Call assert_all_touched() on a document, section or fieldset to ensure that no data has been left untouched by your application.

document = enolib.parse('importan_option: no_delete')  # Note the mis-typed key

important_option = document.field('important_option').optional_string_value()

document.assert_all_touched()

When you run this code an error will be raised in the last line:

This element was not expected, make sure it is at the right place in the document and that its key is not mis-typed.
