I don't mind that, but I agree it seems awkward. Perhaps it was a way
to distinquish between the 3.x and 4.x drivers.

Once the maintenance stuff is out of the way, I'd like to add this
flourish of syntactic sugar:

 $s = new CGI::Session( "driver:mysql", undef , { Handle => $dbh } );

Can be rewritten as:

 $s = new CGI::Session($dbh);

The CGI::Session driver name will be intuited from the DBI driver name 
in use. 

Maybe it's not too late to have CGI::Session 4.x driver name mirror exactly
the DBD ones. So the 'postgresql' driver becomes 'Pg'.
