It sounds like you consider multiple headers of the same name in
request and response as some kind of bug or fault. It's not it is
perfectly legit and something I want to be able to do in my webbby
frameworks. Vary is the main one.

I know that I can join on ',' in a single header when it is
represented in a dict but "meh".

I totally agree that dicts are much nicer to work with, so I'm not
sure what the ideal solution is, but I just wanted to raise that
point about multiple headers. As you were. Carry on. etc.
