Note: The right thing to do is to have a global sessionID that can be used by any plugin that requires it, which currently is FilePlugin, SocketPlugin, and OSProcessPlugin. It probably is also a good idea to make the value available through a primitive, similar to the way we obtain system time or timezone offset. That would make sessionID available to the image for purposes of e.g. identifying unique Squeak sessions on the internet.
I agree strongly. I even have your old code for this sitting around. The issue is that a plugin expecting the vm to supply session id would have to run with a vm able to so do. It seems some people mix releases and might get upset by this. Personally I say to hell with them. Others might disagree.
