Description
I'm facing an issue where I would like to have access to the session itself in the SpringSessionBackedSessionInformation. However, when the session is passed as an argument to the constructor, it is not saved as a a field with a getter. So my alternative was to create my own SpringSessionBackedSessionRegistry and SpringSessionBackedSessionInformation class but the latter is package private...
My goal here is to have access to certain attributes in the session besides EXPIRED_ATTR and SPRING_SECURITY_CONTEXT.
Using version 2.0.0.RC1

Research direction
Start with SpringSessionBackedSessionInformation and SpringSessionBackedSessionRegistry, focusing on the constructor and the requested access to session attributes beyond EXPIRED_ATTR and SPRING_SECURITY_CONTEXT. Check the public API and package visibility in version 2.0.0.RC1; done means establishing a supported way to access the session or clearly documenting why it is not available.
