So CAN_HAVE_LAUNCH_INDEX is more of just a filter that restricts whether we will look into there payload to see if it has a 'yaml' body that has a key 'launch-index', the individual parts can still provide there own 'Launch-Index' header (since it seems bad to scrap all content that might not be yaml). That seems to make sense, although it can be disabled if we want.

As far as the getter, can do, let me make it a property that does that.
