Header and footer creation in versions before 0.8.8

Question

Is there a workaround for adding headers and footers in a Microsoft Word (docx) file?

These are not implemented in versions of python-docx prior to 0.8.8.

More specifically, I would like to add:

1. Page number to footers
2. Some random text to headers

The ideal code will look as follows:

from docx import Document

document = Document()

# Add header and footer on all pages

document.save("demo.docx")
