The implication here by having this requirement in HTTP/2 and not HPACK, is
that the HTTP mapping maintains this.  Though this is largely a division of
responsibilities thing that we don't usually worry about here, you are free
to structure your code as you choose.  If I were building HPACK, I wouldn't
bother even looking at the header field names.
