Is there a way to overload the Session table?

[Mark Finkelstein]

I was wondering if there was a way to overload the session table. Basically I do not want to use sessions, but I do want to use the functionality where I can set cookies by simple writing session.myvariable = "hello", I'm guessing this isnt possible. Otherwise I'd have to use the response.cookies['mycookie'] = 'somevalue' syntax. In which case, is there a way of shutting down the session functionality without having to put session.forget() in each function? Thanks in advance for the continuing support!
