It is a small patch, but it represents a significant change.

I would particularly like to hear some comments from Tom Tromey about
this change.  He has spent some time thinking about the way we organize
preferences and have created our "session" facilities.

BTW, I wonder if the "sessions" code should not be enough to solve your
original problem...

No, your submission was correct.  You must understand that Open Source
projects are based on volunteer work and people have day-time jobs. 
Eventualy we get hold up by work and some backlog builds up.  But do
feel free to 'ping' us if you suspect you submission may have gone
unoticed (yes, it may happen with so many e-mails).  Maintainers usually
apreciate that people do that.

And, regardless of what people decide (make this change or not), thank
you for taking the time to do this.

Good idea.  I will ask for someone to put together something like that
for us and post it to the list.
