-- For example, "count 25000 speed 0.8 rate_erosion 0.006 doawesome true" would be parsed into
-- the following table: { count = 25000, speed = 0.8, rate_erosion = 0.006, doawesome = true }.
-- @param params_text string The string to parse.
-- @param keywords string[] A list of keywords. Keywords can be present on their own without a value. If found, their value will be automatically set to bool true.
-- @returns table A table of key-value pairs parsed out from the given string.
