Description
Hi,
I have a WebSocketServer with a certain WebSocketBehaviour. "OnOpen" and "OnMessage" are triggered when a client connects and a message is received.
Now I want to maintain a list of connected clients (for displaying in a GUI a.s.o.). What is the recommended way of getting hold of such a list?
Of course I could get all services via WebSocketServices.Hosts and walk through the Sessions of service.Sessions (actually ServiceManager - maybe it should be renamed?). But I would need to poll periodically to update my list.
Or is there a better way to send the OnOpen/OnClose events from the behaviour to the "main thread" (which creates the WebSocketServer).
Thanks! Great working library, btw!

Research direction
Start with WebSocketServer, WebSocketBehaviour, WebSocketServices.Hosts, service.Sessions, and the OnOpen/OnClose events mentioned in the issue. Trace how sessions and behaviour events are exposed, then determine the supported approach for observing connected clients without polling. Done means the recommended API or event-based workflow is clear and documented.
