Description
This proposal is to replace HttpResponse._headers with HttpResponse.headers as a public interface using a variation of django.utils.datasctructures.CaseInsensitiveMapping.
It also includes updating tests and documentation to use this, rather than the old dict-like interface, i.e. response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' response['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'.
The dict-like interface won't be deprecated, but will become undocumented, and tests added purely for backwards-compatibility.
