Description
As an idea for a feature, it'd be good to have a from_string() method as an inverse of as_string(). If I'm not mistaken it would be more or less the guts of load(), sans header. I struck this wanting a bit of stringify / unstringify to hold cookies in a database record rather than a file.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing as_string() and load() methods to understand the proposed inverse and how the file header is handled. Done means a from_string() method can restore cookie-jar data from a string without requiring a file header, including the database-cookie use case described here.
