[Zope] 2.5 upgrade, Sessions - too clever for myself

[Chris McDonough]

OK, that was fast.  I was able to repeat it.  Now... let me ask the five 
million dollar question. ;-)  Since SESSION *is* the session data 
object, why do you want to be able to call getSessionData() on it 
reliably?  I will work on seeing how the wrapping differs between cases, 
but this may be a feature and not a bug.
