Thinking out loud here...

Whilst there is no requirement to close a HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 connection when a "Connection: close" header is seen, I wonder if we could perhaps use that as a hint to shutdown the connection (well reduce the number of streams to 0 and let other streams complete and then close).     This would be useful in graceful shutdown scenarios... but perhaps the header is the wrong way to signal that?
