Re: Type codecs within hpack

Integer is helpful for things like content-length. I'd rather keep that
one. The only difference between it and timestamp is one bit so merging
them wouldn't do much, but we could just dump timestamp and just say that
timestamp headers use integer. But that makes translation to http/1
harder.  You'd have to know in advance that any given header is a http-date
or number.
