So, I found myself wondering today why PHP has no built in way to treat cookies as objects.

Why?

I've already written my own class, but, we should implement this!

$cookie = new `Cookie()`;
if (!isset($cookie->username)) { 
    $cookie->username = "george";
    $cookie->save();
}

^^ is nice, I was also thinking, there should be an option to auto-save the cookies on __set :)

I think it's a great idea, maybe it sould be implemented the same way for
sessions too?

I think it's a useless idea and (mainly) this discussion should be moved 
to php-generals (or can be reported as a feature suggestion in a 
bugreport; bugs.php.net). It has nothing to do with PHP internals.
