It's different. If we declare that Pragma: no-cache is equivalent to
CC: no-cache, then we simply address conflicts the same way we address
them when multiple CC headers are set.

If you currently know how you deal with two conflicting CC headers, then
you can apply the same method to a CC and a Pragma (eg: probably that the
pragma can win under some circumstances).

Hoping this helps,
