Hm...  possible...

It's possible that we could make CEDET not use it, I guess?  The way
things are connected up in CEDET makes it a challenge to start to
unravel it, though.

"multisession" does convey a lot -- these objects are extra-special in
that they'll discover when they've been changed by a different Emacs (if
enabled), too, and "multisession" also says something about that.

Is there a shorter work that conveys the same thing?  I.e., that the
value might be coming from a different Emacs, and that it's persistent,
too?
