Description
Run Keyword is a super handy and nice solution to execute keyword that are not part of the current library.
Example: Run a Keyword in failure like in SeleniumLibrary or Browser, or own WUKS implementation.
The only downside is, that it is not possible to NOT getting the called keyword as new Keyword-Layer in docs.
The feature requested is, that there could be way to disable Keyword beeing put to logs, when called by Run Keyword.
Logging (INFO and DEBUG, etc) should just be in the context of the calling keyword.
For me it would be good enough if there would be a python way to do it. I wouldn't need this option within Robot code.
Cheers

Research direction
Start by tracing the Run Keyword execution path and how it creates keyword layers and emits logs. Check the existing tests around Run Keyword and logging behavior if available. Done means a Python-level option can suppress the called keyword layer while keeping logging in the calling keyword's context.
