Description:
------------
"PHP will replace special characters in cookie names, which results in other cookies not being available due to overwriting. Thus, the server request should take the cookies from the request header instead."

https://github.com/zendframework/zend-diactoros/blob/master/src/functions/parse_cookie_header.php

It seems like this should be fixed in PHP itself, as this is the purpose of having the super global $_COOKIE.



Test script:
---------------
setcookie('foo.bar', 'foobar');

Expected result:
----------------
$_COOKIE = [ 'foo.bar' => 'foobar']

Actual result:
--------------
$_COOKIE = [ 'foo_bar' => 'foobar']

This is intended and well documented[1] behavior, coming from the
old times where request parameters (could) have been registered as
PHP variables.  Changing the behavior would now technically be
possible, but due to the BC break, this needs discussion on
internals@, and likely the RFC process[2].  Feel free to start it;
for the time being I'm suspending this ticket.
