well, the only other environment right now is the commandline environment
which doesn't support much of anything :). but the capability exists to
create new environment types, and we're providing an abstract Cookie
interface that doesn't assume an http implementation. cookies could be
implemented for other protocols, right? so we need an
environment-independent way to create Cookies - and if cookies aren't
allowed in that environment, it can throw CookiesNotSupportedException or
something.
