Removing a header from RestSharp RestRequest

Is there any way to remove a header from a RestSharp RestRequest?

Ive stumbled upon this issue in the project page, but cannot see it was ever applied:

https://github.com/restsharp/RestSharp/issues/959

There is one suggestion to use request.Parameters.remove(), assuming with the header name as a parameter, but i don't see how that should correspond to removing a header.

I'm likely just confused, can anyone help?

Faster implementation of Nathan's response. 

var authParam = requestHeadersAdded.Parameters.Find(p => p.Name == "Authorization");
requestHeadersAdded.Parameters.Remove(authParam);

Instead of wrapping the LINQ .Where in a foreach loop, this only loops one time.

The Parameters property of RestRequest is poorly-named. It should be called Headers because that's all it is; a List of the request headers. Therefore, to remove one or more headers from the request, you must first find the header in the list and then remove it with the List.Remove() method.

For example, this snippet removes every Authorization header from the request. I used this to remove old and expired auth tokens from a request before adding a new one.

foreach (var oldAuthHeader in request.Parameters.Where(p => p.Name.Equals("Authorization", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).ToArray())
{
    request.Parameters.Remove(oldAuthHeader);
}
