Ask HN: Do you think jQuery library should come with a cookie fuction?

I think jQuery should include a "$.cookie()" like function in the main/core file. It's the only extra javascript that I include all the time in basically every project/website besides the jQuery library itself.

Cookies are so weird in javascript. W3schools even says you need to create your own function for get/setCookies. The built in functionality of cookies is not even "syntax" consistent in javascript.

- Set two different cookies document.cookie = "name=John Smith; expires=..."; document.cookie = "user=JSmith; expires=...";

- Should "at least (minimum)" be the following document.cookie("name=John Smith; expires=..."); document.cookie("user=JSmith; expires=...");

Anybody have an opinion on adding a cookie function to the jQuery library? Or maybe seeing an update in a new javscript version that's cleaner or more structured? Or is there a valid reason behind all this?

(PS I know there are Great jquery plugins and script in the world, I use them, I'm focusing on adding to the new library).
