 * Demonstrating how to manipulate sessions in Drupal 8.
 *
 * You can read the API documentation here:
 * https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21core.api.php/group/session/
 *
 * Drupal's session management is inherited from Symfony. We use the
 * Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\SessionInterface object which we can
 * get from the Request object.
 *
 * This object allows us to get and set values from the user session.
 *
 * We can use the session to store information per visitor.
 *
 * In this example, we will have the user fill out a form with some personal
 * information, and then be able to display that information on another page.
 *
 * To learn more, one could examine the Stream Wrapper Example. It uses the
 * session API to implement a session: file scheme.
 *
 * @see stream_wrapper_example
 * @see https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21core.api.php/group/session/
