Description

Currently this module adds support for a combined set/add which overwrites or adds a header, meaning the value of the header is always changed.

It would be great if it could also offer a set/skips function which sets if not present and skips otherwise.

Research direction

Start by reading the module's existing combined set/add handling and determine where header-presence checks belong. Define the behavior for an already-present header and an absent header, then verify that the new operation preserves existing values while setting missing ones.
