there is already a bit of support for such upgrades in place. Please
have a look at 'base/include/base/platform_env.h'. The class behind
'env()->rm_session()' is actually an 'Expanding_rm_session_client',
which is meant to transparently upgrade the session quota as needed.
Right now, the implementation covers only the 'attach' function though.
For accommodating your concern, we should cover all functions that
implicitly consume session quota. In your actual case, this would be
'add_client'.

The 'Platform_env::Expanding_rm_session' class looks actually quite
similar. Could you have look to see how it fits your needs?

Oh, you have just turned a public inheritance into a protected one. ;-)
If a 'struct' inherits a base class with no 'private/protected/public'
keyword, 'public' is default.
