Hi!

I'm not sure what prefix has to do with this RFC. Didn't we talk about
secure setting? Where the prefix came from and why we need the prefix at
all?

I'm not sure I understand. So if strict mode is on, when I do
session_id('foo') and session with ID foo does not exist, what would
happen? Would session_start() create it or would it generate new ID,
effectively ignoring my session_id command silently?

Don't we have such function already?
