Looks like an omission.  The response has already been created by the  
time we do the render pass, there's no reason not to give things  
access to it.

The main advantage of the redirect approach to using cookies is that  
the API can be used from callbacks rather than from render code,  
which seems like a more likely place to know you want to set a cookie.
