The problem is that #+TOC cannot be a strict equivalent to
`org-export-with-toc', since the former cannot be introduced in the
document template.

Also, this change would require each user back-end developer to check
for the presence of a TOC keyword with "headlines" value in the parse
tree when handling :with-toc property. This is not complicated, but
there are already many uncomplicated issues to think about when writing
a back-end.

In a nutshell, I don't think we should try to outsmart the user by
ignoring his setup here. I suggest to improve the manual, if needed,
instead.
