If one name has to be longer than the other, it should be the bytes version. Real user code is more likely to want to use the text version, and hopefully there will be more of that type of code than implementations using bytes.

I'm not sure we know that yet, actually. Nothing written for Python 2
counts, and email is too broken in 3 for any sane person to be writing
such code for Python 3.

Of course, one could use message.header and message.bythdr and they'd be the same length.

I was trying to figure out what a 'thdr' was that we'd want to index
'by' it. :)
