The docstring already says that the stream returned is binary.  But,
yeah, one might add a sentence about flexi streams.

Yes, see the section about customizing session behaviour.  You can
insert your own session-db method.  Or, if you absolutely want to
iterate globally across all sessions, you can catch the return value
of the default method.

See the recent discussion on the list.  The next release will provide
some changes w.r.t. error handling and debugging.

Yes, that's a consequence of making the session behaviour
customizable.  Is this a big problem?

Thanks for the feedback,
Edi.
