/// Sets a "flash" cookie that will be removed when it is accessed. The
/// analogous request type is [`FlashMessage`].
///
/// This type makes it easy to send messages across requests. It is typically
/// used for "status" messages after redirects. For instance, if a user attempts
/// to visit a page he/she does not have access to, you may want to redirect the
/// user to a safe place and show a message indicating what happened on the
/// redirected page. The message should only persist for a single request. This
/// can be accomplished with this type.
///
/// # Usage
///
/// Each `Flash` message consists of a `name` and some `msg` contents. A generic
/// constructor ([new](#method.new)) can be used to construct a message with any
/// name, while the [warning](#method.warning), [success](#method.success), and
/// [error](#method.error) constructors create messages with the corresponding
/// names.
///
/// Messages can be retrieved on the request side via the [`FlashMessage`] type
/// and the [name](#method.name) and [msg](#method.msg) methods.
///
/// # Response
///
/// The `Responder` implementation for `Flash` sets the message cookie and then
/// uses the passed in responder `res` to complete the response. In other words,
/// it simply sets a cookie and delegates the rest of the response handling to
/// the wrapped responder.
///
/// # Example
///
/// The following complete Rocket application illustrates the use of a `Flash`
/// message on both the request and response sides.
///
/// ```rust
/// # #![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
/// use rocket::response::{Flash, Redirect};
/// use rocket::request::FlashMessage;
/// use rocket::http::RawStr;
///
/// #[post("/login/<name>")]
/// fn login(name: &RawStr) -> Result<&'static str, Flash<Redirect>> {
///     if name == "special_user" {
///         Ok("Hello, special user!")
///     } else {
///         Err(Flash::error(Redirect::to("/"), "Invalid username."))
///     }
/// }
///
/// #[get("/")]
/// fn index(flash: Option<FlashMessage>) -> String {
///     flash.map(|msg| format!("{}: {}", msg.name(), msg.msg()))
///          .unwrap_or_else(|| "Welcome!".to_string())
/// }
///
/// fn main() {
/// # if false { // We don't actually want to launch the server in an example.
///     rocket::ignite().mount("/", routes![login, index]).launch();
/// # }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// On the response side (in `login`), a `Flash` error message is set if some
/// fictional authentication failed, and the user is redirected to `"/"`. On the
/// request side (in `index`), the handler emits the flash message if there is
/// one and otherwise emits a standard welcome message. Note that if the user
/// were to refresh the index page after viewing a flash message, the user would
/// receive the standard welcome message.
