When a session expires in the app I'm putting together, the user is sent

Read up on Catalyst::Plugin::Session::flash
No, don't. We stole that from rails because it seemed like a good idea at
the time.
It isn't. It's evil, horrible, inefficient, and if you think you wanted it,
you didn't (multi tab issues, refresh issues, race conditions, dead kittens
etc.).
If you really want transient data of that ilk, stuff it in $c->cache under
a key starting with the session id.
... if I write up an outline of how you'd generalise that, anybody fancy
having a go at hacking it together?
I'd like to give it a try if it's OK. This is supposed to go into the
session plugin right? Or should it be an extra plugin?
