Counting someone at our table in Bern plus /my, you've found five people :)

Attached is a .cs which shows (self session) in the debugger (same place  
as in Michel's VW solution) only if (aContext receiver respondsTo:  
#session). #session seems not to be implemented in the stock image. When  
the session item is selected it can be inspected but update with #accept  
does not update.

Tested it on 3.7/8/9, let me know how it works.

If someone needs the name emphasized in the debugger, please post how  
you'd like to have it.
