specific setting

 When using the Settings API, setting errors are saved in a transient to be
 available after redirection.

 After the redirect, when a plugin now checks for errors:
 {{{
 #!php
 <?php
 //by checking
 get_settings_errors( 'settings-name' );

 // or displaying
 settings_errors( 'settings-name' );
 }}}

 any existing errors retrieved from the transient gets lost, because they
 share the same variable and every error that does '''not''' match the
 requested setting gets unset.

 This was introduced in [13177] (#11474).
