I was trying to figure out what  a 'thdr' was that we'd want to index
'by' it. :)

In the discussions about os.environ, the suggested approach was to just
tack a 'b' onto the end of the name to get the bytes version (i.e.
os.environb).

That aligns nicely with the b"" prefix for bytes literals, and isn't
much of a typing or reading burden when dealing with the bytes API
instead of the text one.

A similar naming scheme (i.e. msg.headers and msg.headersb) would
probably work for email as well.

That just feels nasty though :-(
