Comment (by collinanderson):
Proof of concept: https://github.com/django/django/pull/6803
This makes `request.headers` have lowercase header names, and replaces
underscores with hyphens. (header names are lowercase in http2)
Also, on python3 we already get unicode headers from WSGI, and we're
dropping py2 in January, so I don't think it's worth making the values
unicode on python2. The header names are already unicode on python2.
