I don't understand "you have no idea about arbitrary object."  Obviously you
would get a type of object based on the header in question.

This reads like, "Look, just use the API that you don't like because I already
wrote some code."  That's not going to sway me.

What happens when someone wants a Date object for the Date header?  Do we add
header_date?  Then header_rcvd for Received headers, and so on?  This interface
leads to either a proliferation of these things or to some line where we say,
"well *these* headers are important enough and *these* are not."  On the other
hand, a generic mechanism is generic.

You can always publish your work as a subclass, if you think it that popular
acclaim will convince me I'm wrong.
