Description
Cookies, just as other aspects of HTTP, are under constant evolution. Unfortunately, there is no extension point in JAX-RS which allows to _experimentally_ support new types of cookies. So at the moment, JAX-RS needs to adopt all new types of cookies in a hard-coded fashion. This prevents early adoption of new cookie types.
To allow application and implementation vendors to support constant cookie evolution, we should provide an extension point for custom cookies. So applications can provide custom cookies long before a hard-coded support is added to the JAX-RS standard.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the JAX-RS cookie APIs and the issue's stated need for an extension point for custom cookie types. Done means applications and implementation vendors can provide new cookie types without waiting for hard-coded support in the JAX-RS standard.
