I just think the API turned out quite complicated when starting to think in
those terms. Or do you have any suggestion on how it would work?

With my suggested method, you'd just clone the whole string with the cookie
data libcurl returned to you, then you'd replace the contents in the string
with your own set and send back that whole string to libcurl.

libcurl currently keep all cookies in memory, including expired ones. The
expired ones are just never sent to any server.

Thinking about it, this behaviour may need to be changed in the future.
