<pre>An automation session is the main place where WebKit-side support for browser automation should be implemented. A session encapsulates the state (default timeouts, page identifier mappings), objects (active automation WebPages) and logic (how to open a window, run JS, send user input, etc) used to implement automation commands. A process pool can only have one session at a time. The session is created on demand and only if the _WKAutomationDelegate implementation allows it.
I'm currently focusing on *remote* automation, over the RemoteInspector/webinspectord relay system. This is needed in WK2 since its clients cannot directly talk to RemoteInspector in JavaScriptCore.framework.
The session has a delegate so that WK2 clients can perform actions that are outside the scope of WK2, such as creating new tabs, enumerating windows, or sending native user inputs.
Patch forthcoming.</pre>
