Assume I have a server trying to create a cookie to send to the browser.
Instead of making the cookies one at a time like

c = Cookie.Cookie()

c['firstname'] = 'joe'

c['lastname'] = 'samson'

c['lastname'][max-age] = 3600

I want to be able to store the info for the cookies in one dictonary and
pass that to the constructor for Cookie(), or load it into the cookie using
c.load().
