I think all of us know what it does.

It's not alias. It's much more efficient.

I might not explain well enough in the RFC, but most of use understood it's
a faster version of session_start();session_commit().
Calling session_commit() right after session_start() is common optimization
technique. Making it more efficient worth it.
I think there is no point to write back to the session data while
programmer only needs to read the data. Since
session_start();session_commit(); is optimization technique, making it more
efficient makes sense.
