I was about to send a comment that the proposed API should probably
return the main name of the vhost (by opposition to the aliases).
Another alternative is to return the content of the host header (but I'm
not convinced this is really useful, after all the header is available
already). So this should be clarified.
The main question about that collection API is if there is a benefit for
the webapp to know all the aliases for its vhost ? (and then the webapp
won't know the "main" name of the vhost)
