Small clarification (which should go into the docs, somewhere):

obj.* still exists. beresp is the backend response which you can modify
in vcl_fetch. Upon exiting vcl_fetch, beresp is used to allocate space
for and populate the obj-structure.

The only part of obj.* that is available in vcl_deliver is obj.hits.

What you can do is store the ttl on req.http somewhere (assuming the
conversions work) in vcl_hit, then copy it onto resp.* in vcl_deliver.
