For context, this is a continuation of a thread started here:

The suggestion there was to use a session as an object cache to suppress
duplicate persists within the same transaction. If an object has session
support (the db session pragma), then when you persist it (with a call
to persist()), it will be automatically entered into the cache. So the
idea is to use session::cache_find() before calling persist() to check
if that has already happened.
