I really think shorter escaping methods are important, see if you
can't include Rack::Utils or something
Aside from that, it all sounds yummy!

Cookie Sessions: I think we should simply raise an error when the
data is
larger than 4kB. Something is wrong when the cookie is larger than the
framework you're using.
I totally agree with ditching
the compressed version so long as there are
new guidelines put in place as to how much camping is too much
camping. We
still need to fit it in our backpacks.
It would also be good if you continue to maintain some easy way to
do the
compression, so people who do care about size can get a smaller
version.
Someone might want to take camping with them everywhere they go in
the form
of a 3D barcode, loadable via the camera's on mobile phones and many
computers, or maybe they've been running their website on a server
they can
only reach via TCP over Carrier Pigeon and it's important to them
that they
can upload camping.rb with the fewest pigeons possible.
Perlvert that I am, I respected the 4KB obfuscation. (Maybe that's
just me. ;-)
It's alright for me to keep the compressed version, but can it live
under
camping-compressed.rb (or something like that) and have the "real"
version
under camping.rb?
Does Rack::Utils give us nice short easy escaping? Can we include
in to
camping in a way that they are just nice short methods?
Rack::Utils gives us "nice short easy escaping" through
Rack::Utils.escape and
Rack::Utils.unescape. Creating helper-methods will just cost bytes...
As long as you organize the code such that it's easy to switch
between
session storage schemes, I think this is fine.
I've created a branch (orm_agnostic) where I've moved db.rb -> ar.rb
and
session.rb -> ar/session.rb so you can plug in whatever you want.

Right now I have spread the code around three branches (rack,
cookie_session
and orm_agnostic). Just tell me which we need, and I'll merge/rebase
them to
the master for easy merging with why's repo (so you guys can
continue to hack
with it).
Oh, and the documentation of session needs some cleanup, but I suck at
documentation so I'll leave it to you :-)
