Splendid! As long as most of session.el's capabilities are preserved.

What I am missing is a means to "edit" the saved data, remove items  
particularly. My session-save-file(s, for different Emacs versions/ 
kinds) have a tendency to grow. A simple mechanism based of time  
stamps or a maximal number of items does not seem to be right. Some  
configure or compile invocations are used again after years. Some  
such invocations were for tests and really are not worth saving them,  
well, say, longer than a week, or a month. A means of cleaning seems  
to be necessary.

Also the point in a buffer is saved. This is an information that is  
often useless for me, or worse: the end of the buffer, when I left  
the file after a compare-windows. I would like to see the point at  
the beginning next time I open the file. To be ready for a new  
comparison. I setting might enable new session.el to convert point- 
max to point-min.
