[dancer-users] A problem with the "cookie" keyword

[Punter]

Well, I like the vastly simpler interface that:

my $value = cookie 'name';

...gives you, instead of having to write each time:

my $cookie = cookie 'name';
my $value = $cookie && $cookie->value;

Also I think that it would increase Dancer2 adoption, when people see 
the first way mentioned on the Dancer website.
