You are right. There is no real need for the initial call. It was
initially designed like this because I inherited directly from UserDict
and I was lazy to override every call to check whether FSSession was
initialized or not. Also and more important I wanted to be compatible with
SQLSession so the migrating users from one to the other will do so without
needing to change much of the code. The initial call is useful if you need
to pass parameters, like noCookie or _force_new_session etc etc.
