Bug#898905: libemail-mime-perl: [doc] manpage refers to, but doesn't contain header_raw method (along with plenty of others from Email::Simple)

Package: libemail-mime-perl
Version: 1.946-1
Severity: minor
I am a bit confused reading the man of both Email::Simple and Email::MIME, since they're
similar (looks like they were planned to be implemented as exchangeable) but not
matching.
Particularly some references seem to refer from one to the other:
header
Achtung! Beware this method! In Email::MIME, it means the same as "header_str", but on an Email::Simple object, it means
"header_raw". Unless you always know what kind of object you have, you could get one of two significantly different behaviors.
Try to use either "header_str" or "header_raw" as appropriate.
header_str_pairs
my @pairs = $email->header_str_pairs;
This method behaves like "header_raw_pairs", returning a list of field name/value pairs, but the values have been decoded to
character strings, when possible.
But neither header_raw nor header_raw_pairs is described on the manpage.
