Session module handles interface a little different way.
There is create_sid() method for a long time, but it's not forced to be
implemented. validateSid() and update() method is the same as create_sid().
Is there a default SessionHandler::update() method? If yes, how is

There is dummy function for validateSid() and update().
Both returns true always.
If save handler (regardless of user or C) does not implement its own
update(),
then update() will not be called, instead write() is called.
To do that, address of the dummy function is compared.
The devil is in the details and these details aren't explained

Currently implemented save handlers work as it is now both user and C.
Btw, this should probably be called updateTimestamp() instead of

This could be changed. Better name is always good.
