it basically means that state is preserved for code blocks that run in
the same session (as long as the interpreter is running). Or in other
words, imagine two code blocks: the first sets a variable, the second
prints the variable. Without sessions the code blocks run in different
shell instances and the second block doesn't 'see' the variable set by
the first code block. But if both run in the same session, the second
code block 'sees' the state left by the first code block.
