Yes, the manual still needs some work.  You're looking at unfinished
work on my branch.  That's why it's not shipped with Dancer2 yet.

Looking at the Dancer2 code, you'll get Dancer2::Core::Cookie objects
back.

That's the design, and I'm not aware of any plans for it to change.

You can fetch a cookie with:

my $cookie = cookie 'foo';
my $value = $cookie->value;

One change that I think would be valuable actually would be to have
Dancer2::Core::Cookie use overloading, so that a Dancer2::Core::Cookie
object stringifies to its value - a bit of DWIMmery.

I'll look in to that and discuss it with the rest of the team.

Cheers

Dave P
