Maybe a better name could be found -- the current confusion is largely
due to name problems as well.  Anyway, perhaps MemoryOnly, or
NonPicklingMemory, or TemporaryStore, or...?  "MemoryOnly" sounds decent
to me, not too long but still clear.

The people who want this feature should be suggesting more about it! 
There's no reason a *new* session store couldn't go into 0.8 (but not a
change to current session stores).  But it's not something that I plan
to use, and the people who do want such a store should pull it together.
