What would it take to make it so that sessions using that standard Catalyst Plugins for sessions and authentication is shared over $psgi_env

[jjn1056]

for session there is a standard plack middleware, but not sure if the same exists for authentication (or if this even makes sense).

The gist here is that if Catalyst Six runs as a sub application under an existing Cat 5 application, we'd want to be able to share down at least sessions and possible authentication so we need I think somehow to expose those bits either as middleware or via some other technique. This is a research story to think about that and work out the approach and outline any tasks we should be prior to catalyst 6

a good goal here is that if you nest a catalyst app under another one, and the parent defines session and authentication info, the child app should be able to easily hook into that
