Because it is the collection of surfaces owned by a MirConnection - and
"session" doesn't convey *any* of that.

Currently there is no representation of a "client" in Mir - nor is there
a simple way to identify one: We do try to identify the PID of the
process talking over a socket but there are limits to that.

OK, so "Application" might not be a good name either.

And, if you move onto the desktop, an application can have more than one
windows for a user to interact with.
