> The default session expiry uses the same method I went for - as long as
the session is accessed or written to, it won't expire.
I am not convinced, but understand the logic now. Its kind of session idle
timeout or something. This behavior was not obvious to me till this
discussion, are we sure other developers understand this? Was it a feature
and not a bug?
> Perhaps with a `'_fixed_age'` session variable it would be possible to
achieve both behaviours without too much code overhead.
I will give it a shot, but this will require further API changes, may be
extra optional parameter in set_session_age(seconds, absolute_life=True).
My concern is it will add to confusion.
