It's sooo complicated because it forces everything involved to use a
special file finding and/or loading interface.
It also requires that central store to remain consistent, which is
roughly infinity times harder than... well, not.
Any program that deletes files based on some fantasy of omniscience
isn't one I'm trusting with my data. Actually I think I'd take that a
bit farther and say I don't want a session manager deleting files at
all. Ever.
