[erlang-questions] HTTP/2 client

I do not know if the people using Gun in production so far have tried 
the HTTP/2 support we currently have. Personally all I can say is that 
it works fine with Cowboy 2, but then again Cowboy 2 doesn't have flow 
control either at this time.

Gun and Cowboy 2 are developed concurrently so they'll always be 
compatible. Other servers, I suppose it depends on how strict they 
implement flow control. Not aware of an issue yet, but would love some 
feedback on it.
