I'm not asking for RFC about everything new. But at least to my
knowledge, this wasn't even discussed - somebody might've suggested an
improvement to your idea. You just decide and add something without
others evaluating it, while at the same time, everybody else's feature
requests are put under cross-fire - this is unfair.

Anyway, you can disregard that, as I previously said - Leigh answered
all of my questions, including those about session_create_id() (might
be better to call it session_generate_id() though).

Cheers,
Andrey.
