That feels the opposite of all on-the-fly evaluations commonly done by a (language)-shell. Commonly a shell keeps is values until a new one is created. Would find it more natural if ":session" is the default, while a command "refresh" makes a new one. Also instead of ":session" a header argument ":dedicated" would provide a new process every time. As we have a bug around, maybe it's a good moment to consider that, Andreas
