Perhaps I should elaborate on "it wouldn't have worked". The detail is
that it would have been inconsistent. If the addresses that passed
through the one_time director were delivered at the first attempt, the
headers_remove would have been acted on. However, for any that weren't
delivered, and thus were promoted to "top level" addresses because of
the one_time setting, there was no memory of headers_remove. Thus, at
the next delivery, when such addresses would no longer pass through that
director, the headers_remove wouldn't happen.
