The module formerly strictly applied the parsing rules described in the

many current day browsers and servers have relaxed parsing rules when comes to
Cookie handling. As a result, the parsing rules used are a bit less strict.

``!#$%&'*+-.^_`|~`` denote the set of valid characters allowed by this module
in Cookie name (as :attr:`~Morsel.key`).
