- `Response#to_i` will now behave like `String#to_i` instead of returning the
HTTP response code, which was very surprising behavior.
- `Response#body` will now return a true `String` object rather than self.
Previously there was no easy way to get the true `String` response instead of
the Frankenstein response string object with AbstractResponse mixed in.
- `Response#body` and `#to_s` will now return a true `String` object rather
than self. Previously there was no easy way to get the true `String` response
instead of the Frankenstein response string object with AbstractResponse
mixed in. Response objects also now implement `.inspect` to make this
distinction clearer.
- Handle multiple HTTP response headers with the same name (except for
Set-Cookie, which is special) by joining the values with a comma space,

treat any object that responds to `.read` as a streaming payload and pass it
through to `.body_stream=` on the Net:HTTP object. This massively reduces the
memory required for large file uploads.
- Remove `RestClient::MaxRedirectsReached` in favor of the normal
`ExceptionWithResponse` subclasses. This makes the response accessible on the
exception object as `.response`, making it possible for callers to tell what
has actually happened when the redirect limit is reached.
- When following HTTP redirection, store a list of each previous response on
the response object as `.history`. This makes it possible to access the
original response headers and body before the redirection was followed.
