New Feature for kdelibs (Was: The case for a kdelibs 4.8)

[andrea diamantini]

I think that every app using cookies would like to have this patch merged

This will help/fix/improve features like "private browsing" and so on.
So please don't let us wait for the "big Universe reordering" to have it. :)
