which is exactly what makes me uneasy about the name, because they are
not the same thing, and we don't update one from the other.


Btw, mildly related to this:  Long time ago we talked about being able
to work on sub-parts of http headers:

	if (INT(beresp.http.cache-control.max-age, 0) > 1200) {
		set beresp.http.cache-contro.max-age = 1200;
	}

We may want to reconsider this before we write too intricate VCL
