    They are not helpful for various reasons.  e.g. if you need

    place must know whether a session has been started).

Why? And how can it know whether a session was started if it can't check whether it was started?

    Also, the concept of session_id_exists is fundamentally
    broken (think of atomic file creation).  That is why there is
    no such function.

That's true - although we could have some sort of test&set functionality if we wanted to. Not sure if it's that useful though. Zeev
