+    /// The `Last-Event-ID` header contains information about

+    /// track of event state. This is helpful when working
+    /// with [Server-Sent-Events](http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/eventsource/basics/). If the connection were to be dropped, for example, it'd
+    /// be useful to let the server know what the last event you
+    /// recieved was.
+    ///
+    /// The spec is a String with the id of the last event, it can be
+    /// an empty string which acts a sort of "reset".
+    ///
+    /// # Example
+    /// ```
+    /// use hyper::header::{Headers, LastEventID};
+    ///
+    /// let mut headers = Headers::new();
+    /// headers.set(LastEventID("1".to_owned()));
