Basically yes. From caller perspective I want to pass email address 
object and let Email::MIME to do MIME encoding correctly. Something like 
this:

my $email = Email::MIME->create(
	header_addr => [
		From => Email::Address::XS->new(Name => 'user@host'),
		To => [
			Email::Address::XS->new(Name2 => 'user2@host'),
			Email::Address::XS->new(Name3 => 'user3@host'),
		],
	],
);

Currently Email::MIME module takes UTF-8 formatted To (or Cc) header, 
construct from it Email::Address object, then MIME encode phrase part 
and after that format header back to string line.

If I pass Email::Address::XS object directly to Email::MIME, then one 
step of decomposition (from ->as_string back to Email::Address object) 
will not be needed.

Also in same way I would to pass named group of email addresses, e.g:

my $email = Email::MIME->create(
	header_grps => [
		To => [
			$group_name => [ $address1_obj, $address2_obj ],
		],
	],
);

Currently Email::MIME from all named groups, because it uses 
Email::Address parser and it does not support it.

My Email::Address::XS supports also named groups of addresses, so above 
syntax can be implemented via Email::Address::XS module.
