Can httptest be used to test HTTP/2?

I'm wondering if this (httptest) package can be used to test HTTP/2 specific features.
Can anyone point me to some examples maybe?

I'm aware of the tool h2i, but it's an interactive tool.
I'm looking for something which is programmable.

EDIT:
What I'm really looking for is a tool, where for example I can initiate a server push and test it on the client side.
So, using this package, how do I have access to the underlying HTTP/2 stuff it uses by default?

EDIT 2:
Found some examples in the nghttp2 source: https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/nghttp2/tree/master/integration-tests

EDIT 3: For me it looks like that the package net/http2 isn't meant to be used directly by anyone. I'll experiment with this one.

General testing tip (to avoid frustration)!

Don't use Fiddler to test it, it gets in between your browser and the server and breaks the HTTP2 connection.

No HTTP2 - no push.

https://github.com/summerwind/h2spec is a go program that tests whether a server implementation conforms to RFC 7540. It allows to craft individual HTTP/2 frames such as:

    settings := http2.Setting{http2.SettingInitialWindowSize, 0}
    http2Conn.fr.WriteSettings(settings)

or

    var hp http2.HeadersFrameParam
    hp.StreamID = 1
    hp.EndStream = false
    hp.EndHeaders = true
    hp.BlockFragment = http2Conn.EncodeHeader(hdrs)
    http2Conn.fr.WriteHeaders(hp)
