This is pyspf specific.

In addition to making get_header() RFC4408 compliant :-}, I have
provided for adding additional x-name=val pairs to the header.

Typical usage is like this:

gres = 'pass'
hres = 'neutral'
self.add_header('Received-SPF',q.get_header(
q.result,receiver,bestguess=gres,helo_spf=hres),0)

For the custom keys, 'x-' is prepended and '_' becomes '-'. So
bestguess becomes 'x-bestguess=pass' and helo_spf becomes
'x-helo-spf=neutral'.

Is that good? Should I not force the custom keys to have 'x-'?

Yes, I like this. I do think custom keys should be forced to this.

Yes, I think this is good. If new keys get defined, it should be up to the
SPF implementation (pyspf) -- not the caller! -- to give specific inter-
faces to them. If the caller adds custom keys that aren't known by the
implementation, those should receive an "x-" prefix.
