How would I have known that there is such an object in the cookie
list? I tried looking in the debugger but the navigating a weak
reference table in the debugger is slow going.

Hmm...this confuses me. How do I know what cookies I should expect to
find in an object? Your first statement suggests it will usually be
there, but sometimes may not be. Does this mean I have to always
program defensively for the possibility that cookie might not be
there? At least with interfaces I know there is a contract.
