That means that switching realms without cookies will be different
from switching realms with cookies?  Hmm, not good.

I'm not really convinced yet that this is really a useful addition for
Hunchentoot.  Also, don't having much time to think about this, are
you really sure this can't be done with the current session framework
without the need to patch Hunchentoot or to write your own session
code?

Anyway, if you need this for your own projects, don't wait for me, but
rather write code that doesn't depend on a patched Hunchentoot.  I'm
too busy right now to make any promises about updates or patches.

Edi.
