/** A container for storing HTTP header fields.

    This container is designed to store the field value pairs that make
    up the fields and trailers in an HTTP message. Objects of this type
    are iterable, with each element holding the field name and field
    value.

    Field names are stored as-is, but comparisons are case-insensitive.
    The container behaves as a `std::multiset`; there will be a separate
    value for each occurrence of the same field name. When the container
    is iterated the fields are presented in the order of insertion, with
    fields having the same name following each other consecutively.

    Meets the requirements of <em>Fields</em>
