Description

There's quite often need to convert the header to some format. Now we use the following method:

.setBody().header("myheader")
.convertBodyTo(String.class)
.setHeader("myheader").body()

This adds verbosity to the code and could be done more elegantly if there was own method for this. Similar to 

.convertBodyTo(class)

 but for the header. Example:

.convertHeaderTo("myheader", String.class)
