Description
using MATLAB
s1 = MSession()
s2 = MSession()
put_variable(s1, :y, 1)
put_variable(s2, :y, 2)
jvalue(get_mvariable(s1, :y) #output1
jvalue(get_mvariable(s2, :y) #output2
I'm expecting output1=1 and output2=2. Works on mac.
However, it doesn't seem to work on Windows, where I get output1=output2=2.
Anyone know what's going on? I see there's some special handling of persistent sessions for Windows, but it looks like the code should work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Julia example with two MSession instances on Windows, then inspect the special handling for persistent sessions mentioned in the issue. Trace how each session is created and stores variables; done means the two sessions independently return 1 and 2, matching the behavior on macOS.
