But certainly I found the behavior surprising. :) I'd guess it's because
HTTP/2 is sending some binary goo instead of text headers, and the names
we get are just coming from some lookup table? Or maybe I'm just showing
my ignorance of HTTP/2.
AFAIK headers in HTTP/2 MUST be lowercase as per the SPEC[1]

Yeah, I did some more reading and found that, too. From Daniel on
StackOverflow, no less:

  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54067796/preserving-case-of-http-headers-with-curl

So it probably is reasonable to present them to the debug code in that
way. It is a bit weird that we may see them differently depending on
whether curl decided to use HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 under the hood, but
matching the on-the-wire format is probably the least-bad thing.
