request: storage of session info in database

[sylae]

due to Reasons I'm Not Quite Sure About specific to my webserver setup, I can't really rely on php's default session handler (which just dumps sessions in, like, /var/php/sessions or some shit). Typically I've implemented a custom session handler which just stores the session data in the db which I'm using anyway, so it's nice and slick and cool.

However, doing this with Nin is Kind Of A Nightmare. I was able to get it working, but it required being slightly cursed:

    $cfg = array_merge($defaultConfig, require_once 'config.php');
    nf_config_initialize($cfg);
    nf_db_initialize();

    session_set_save_handler(new DatabaseSessionHandler(), true); // implements session interfaces to load/save a nin model
    session_start([
        // irrelevant cookie config snipped
    ]);

    nf_begin($cfg);

It'd be nice if there was a builtin way to store sessions in the database, or barring that, deferring the internal session_start until the database connection is spun up (realistically, on a modern website, i dont see much point in user session support if there's no database to connect to).
