Skimming the linked thread, there were a bunch of messages with variations of "It might be easier to judge if you came up with a real use case", but nobody ever did.

So, do you have a real use case here? It might look better with headers from some protocol that need to be in order (except I can't think of any such protocol) or whatever you're hoping for than with examples like 'a' or 'foo' or 1.
