What is the purpose of sessions extension? The reason I ask is because learning to deal with all its functions, ini options and quirks took me _much_ more time than writing pure-php replacement. (That is, without using session_set_save_handler().)

I realise that yours might be a special case, but for most situations I have only had to do session_start() and then simply used $_SESSION as if it were any other array with the simple difference that it persists across requests. When done with the session, use session_destroy() if you feel the need. I'm not sure how that could be harder than writing a pure-PHP replacement for the session extension...
