You did :-)

There is a vmod_std function for doing this in -trunk now.

	import std from ...

	sub vcl_fetch {
		std.collect(resp.http.set-cookie);
	}

I'm still hoping that we'll find time/hands to produce a vmod_cookie
which would give a sensible API, so people can clearly express
what they want:

	import cookie from ...

	sub vcl_recv {
		cookie.keep_only("This_cookie", "That_cookie");
		if (cookie.get("This_cookie") == "mumblemumble") {
			...
		}
	}

	sub vcl_fetch {
		cookie.keep_only("This_cookie", "That_cookie");
	}
