I'd think this use case represents the minority - seems to me that since
the module already supports writing to a pipe, a simple run through sed
or perl -p -e should be enough for those who would like to run this in
production all the time.

If a code change is really what the community thinks is needed, it
should become an optional parameter disabled by default. Should we run
down that path, it becomes an exercise in figuring out how we give the
administrator the option of disabling certain headers from being printed
with the flexibility for that administrator to define a match that can
suit every need (headers of various names and cookies of various names
being the more recently discussed items).
