Subject: session.name limitation fix or not fix?

Hi all,

I was browsing bugs and found old feature request that can be fixed easily.

Request #35703 when session_name("123") consist only digits, should warning
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35703&thanks=1

session.name cannot be integer like string, since it will be initialized as
"long" key hash while session module trying to find as "string" key hash. I
don't understand why some users are willing to use digits only session
name, but problem is problem.

It's not intuitive, but this limitation is documented.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-name.php


If any one of you think this should be fix (i.e. Raise error for invalid
session name) I'll fix this. If not, I'll reply as "Won't fix".

Any comments?
