Actually, it would be nice to reserve an external separator in http/2, so
bits like user-agents can be logged without playing quoting games. Surely
utf-8 space is big enough to reserve a bloody separator?

(it's not for nefarious monitoring, it's to detect the broken clients that
break the service for everyone, and logging http headers that can contain
spaces when the default apache log format is space separated is killing
tools as soon as you try to query millions of lines that need unquoting)
