OK, that is up to andreas - I couldn't commit it if I wanted to.
Now that's interesting. I can fix that easy enough but I'm curious as to the reason for having a "global" session ID instead of a local one. I always found it advantageous that (in all likelyhood) you couldn't use the session ID for a file interchangeably with the session ID of a socket. And I must say that I find the idea of exposing what essentially amounts to a "VM secret" to other plugins quite peculiar.
Can somebody remind what the intent of that change was? I'm sure there must've been some reason for it but I think I've missed the discussion of that feature.
