IMP isn't "thin", no. But that's not a reason to just happily add in every 
single mod that comes our way - options still need to make _sense_, not create 
incredibly messy code (we haven't seen this one yet), not go against the goals 
of IMP, etc.

This applies somewhat to the SessionCache::deleteObject() method, as well - it 
doesn't really belong in that class, because it doesn't mesh with what that 
class is meant to do. Maybe this means we need a _different_ class for 
abstracting storage of objects which _should_ be held on to, no matter what. It 
doesn't mean we should break the design of the existing class.

Well, you can share these ideas, implement them yourself... or don't complain 
too much about how things are. :) All of us are short on time; we do what we 
can.
