 * The collection caches all existing interfaces to sessions.
 * ScopedSessions play an important role in
 * hosted Grist and address per-organization scoping of identity.

 * TODO: now this is separated out, we could refactor to share sessions
 * across organizations.  Currently, when a user moves between organizations,
 * the session interfaces are not shared.  This was for simplicity in working
 * with existing code.
