there are several arguments for and against server session variables. let's
however not forget that http is a stateless protocol, and that this is
yet-again-another-http-hack, together with comet applications and such.

the reason why i've not added those in misultin is because there are several
good ways to deal with them, like memcached for instance. i just believe
that sessions are not something http-related, and thus not within a
lightweight http library.

just my opinion, of course. :)
