 Can we make this testable?  'exit' is not catchable.  Something like this?

 {{{
 add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wp_exit_on_http_head', 1000 );
 function wp_exit_on_http_head() {
         if ( 'HEAD' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) {
                 add_filter( 'wp_die_ajax_handler',
 '_scalar_wp_die_handler' );
                 wp_die();
         }
 }
 }}}
