    interface.

    This is the CookieJar we create by default for requests and sessions that
    don't specify one, since some clients may expect response.cookies and
    session.cookies to support dict operations.

    Requests does not use the dict interface internally; it's just for
    compatibility with external client code. All requests code should work
    out of the box with externally provided instances of ``CookieJar``, e.g.
    ``LWPCookieJar`` and ``FileCookieJar``.

    Unlike a regular CookieJar, this class is pickleable.
