Yes, it makes sense to allocate new type number for PRIORITY when frame
content is repurposed.

Also is make sense to allocate new type number for HEADERS when 
"Stream Dependency" or "Weight" field of HEADERS frame conrent is repurposed.

That avaind dance about on what point on time change of  "Stream Dependency" / "Weight" field"
field happens.


If you are running out of framer's type numbers, reserve some number for
"extended type number". ☻
