As a developer using PHP, I completely agree with Andrey on this point
-- it was my immediate reaction on reading the original proposal. A
call to session_start() that doesn't actually fully start a session
is utterly misleading and wrong -- this need (if there is one, of
which I'm not convinced) should be filled by a new function named
something like session_read(), or session_load(), or even
session_get_values().
Cheers!
