And I just found out that this assumption was wrong; it's a string after all. That should make it dead easy to pass information about what the value in it means, should that discussion ever terminate on such a note. For loop detection, a unique cookie suffices; it doesn't need to be human-parseable or self-describing or in fact meaningful at all.
