See also the section titled
"Numeric Session IDs and Symbolic Session Names (Aliases)"
I guess that it's a bit odd that it's a Kernel method until you realize
where the info about an alias needs to go

The side-effects Nick was talking about is that aliases will make the
session live indefinitely, and I'm sure that will screw up a lot of
programs out there :(
Nick, I believe you can make a rfc for something like
$session->label_sess( "foo" );
I don't think that will be a disruptive change, and somebody could
implement it quickly...
