Cees,

Thanks for contributing this. I'm not sure I "get it", though. It looks
like you have re-invented a way for some methods in a plugin module to
be exported, while others are not. 

Without this framework, CGI::App::Session worked fine and was as easy to
use as I hoped a plug-in would be. What's the additional value that this
framework provides over the techniques used for that?
