:class:`~urllib.request.Request` objects are now reusable: if the
:attr:`~urllib.request.Request.full_url` or :attr:`~urllib.request.Request.data`
attributes are modified, all relevant internal properties are updated. This
means, for example, that it is now possible to use the same
:class:`~urllib.request.Request` object in more than one
:meth:`.OpenerDirector.open` call with different *data* arguments, or to
modify a :class:`~urllib.request.Request`\ 's ``url`` rather than recomputing it
from scratch. There is also a new
:meth:`~urllib.request.Request.remove_header` method that can be used to remove
headers from a :class:`~urllib.request.Request`. (Contributed by Alexey
Kachayev in :issue:`16464`, Daniel Wozniak in :issue:`17485`, and Damien Brecht
and Senthil Kumaran in :issue:`17272`.)
