Dynamically setting a new cookie file based on the host domain automatically would be amazing

true.

In fact it is a little confusing :)  But I did it for lazyness'
sake.  I'll probably have 4-5 cookie files (too many to assign 
ctrl-<something> to each one), and I see no way to map, say,
f6 to ":set cookie_file=" leaving me to fill in the name.  So
':c<tab>' works nicely.

I suppose providing a way (if I'm not wrong, and such a way doesn't
already exist :) to allow such mapping, and making cookiefile a
setting, would make the most sense.
