In _theory_, yes. In practice, gadfly's parser barfs on strings with
embedded newlines. Since by default Sessions store the data as base64,
this breaks if the objects encode to more than a line.

I plan to allow a choice of encoding as base64 or using zopes var:type
format - I'd hoped to get this into 0.2, but it's not working yet, so
it will be in 0.3.

cool - I'll send a patch tomorrow.

MartijnP's response (he did it, but can't find it now) suggests that I need
to implement it myself. Since I need it for a system that's going live in
the next week or so, expect a patch in the not too distant future. :)
