50 function removes a key/value pair from the configuration database.
52 You must specify both the key name and its value, this is because keys are not
53 unique in the database, so a value is not enough to uniqely identify a key belonging

56 Strictly, even give the key name and value is not enough to uniquely identify a key,
57 If there are two (or more) keys with the same name and value, only the first will
