I think this is a mistake. We'll have to do a round-trip anyway to
ensure that the session is in a valid state (no connection expired,
etc.) before we can safely reuse it. The point of the cache is not to
avoid nework round-trips but to avoid expensive connection establishment.

I've kept this in for now when I added expiry handling, but I think that
in the long run, this change is trying to optimize for the wrong case.
