So, if header "xyz-header" is not expected to be found in a hash, nginx
would not calculate the lowcase_key, but will it also set
headers_out.header.elt.hash to some value to signal that it has not
calculated the lowcase_key?

Understood, but the problem is because I am trying to reuse that variable
probably for something that it was intended to be used, just wanted to find
out how to use it if at all I can use it.
