Comment(by strider72):

 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.

 I explicitly avoided this so that different plugins can't accidentally
 overwrite each other.

 What happens when one plugin adds a header of "Foo" with a key of "baz"
 and another adds a "Bar" header also with a key of "baz"?  Can't have
 both.  If the header and key (by definition) match, it simplifies things
 greatly.  "Foo" is "Foo" and "Bar" is "Bar".  Period.
