Yes, whenever the documentation talks about something being "iterable",
they really mean that we can use a for loop across it. It does seem a
little odd that this appears to be a primary way to access the cookies in
a cookie jar:

I wonder why; I haven't been able to figure out a good reason for this
kind of interface. Are cookie jars files known to be large?
I do hope it's not a matter of preserving the metaphor of reaching into a
cookie jar to grab cookies one at a time... *grin*
