Although I've written it already, I appreciate any comments for
improvement. Do you have idea for session_create_id()?
Perhaps, more generic function name and/or move to ext/standard?

For more generic ID or token, I think we need UUID module. If there
is a module available, we are better to include it. I think someone
is working on it.
