Correct. I've always considered the outgoing (request-) headers to be mainly
for debugging and thus they are only displayed with -v or --trace.

If we were to add the outgoing headers to the -i or -D output, how would they
be marked up? Just added without any notification of direction?

I think it would make the least intrusion and breakage if -i got them, as I
believe -D is used more widely to store incoming headers separately.

I'm not 100% convinced yet that this is a good idea.
