I honestly don't know. This was just something that someone proposed
and I figured I would quickly look into, especially since I am trying
to create a single http.cookies module. But if both modules stick
around that might not work out very well having BaseCookie,
SimpleCookie, and Cookie all in the same module but doing very
different things.
