Right, we decided to bind to the session for exactly that benefit. The
issue is being able to simply update a continuation's last access time
via a request.

Any idea if those changes are compatible with 2.1.7? Because of some
concurrency issues with 2.1.7's ContinuationsManagerImpl (I haven't
submitted the bug yet), I'm already using a "custom" version. If your
changes will work with 2.1.7, I might as well use that as a base
instead.
