 Replying to [comment:32 strider72]:

 returned array is the values.  Keys are irrelevant.  In the final it uses
 $value => $value for the new header

 Give extra headers the same ability as the built in ones - i.e. the key
 name that ends up in the array can be different from the string matched in
 the file.

 True - I was refering to removing all the array_flippery which seemed like
 a bit over the top - just make the requirements on the plugin behaviour
 like I suggest about and then that can all be stripped out.
