Scenario Outlines with no Examples tables should behave gracefully

[mattwynne]

First reported in #426. If we have a Scenario Outline but no Examples tables, we'll fail in an ugly fashion.

What is the correct behaviour here? Should we:

1. raise an exception as we parse the Gherkin
2. issue a warning as we parse the gherkin, then ignore the empty scenario outline
3. silently ignore the empty scenario outline
4. something else

I don't really understand why you'd want a scenario outline in your gherkin if it doesn't have any examples, so (1) seems like the right option to me. What do other people think?

I agree with 1. I had a case running against 1.0.6 where 3 seemed to be occurring.

[jarl-dk]

I vote for (1) as well...

[tooky]

I'd be happy with 1 or 2.

Replaced by PR #439. @tooky if you use the hub command-line wrapper for git you can transform an existing issue into a PR.

That sounds like a neat trick - thanks @mattwynne.
