Given, When, Then keywords explicitly mapped

See original GitHub issue

Given, When, Then keywords are explicitly mapped, the basic cucumber rules are not getting followed. i.e we are allowed to create duplicate step with a different keyword. For instance given(user navigates to {string}) is valid as well as then(user navigates to {string}) is also valid. I believe the vice versa should be the case, wherein cucumber should allow the use of any keyword to define in the feature file but only one declaration of the step.

@lgandecki yes that is exactly what i am saying. cucumber wiki states that, “Every scenario consists of a list of steps, which must start with one of the keywords Given, When, Then, But or And. Cucumber treats them all the same, but you shouldn’t.” The reason cucumber treats them all same is to restrict step duplication and I think we should too.
