all the keys which haven't changed since the flash data was loaded at the end
of every request.
+Note that use of the flash is an easy way to get data across requests, but
+it's also strongly disrecommended, due it it being inherently plagued with
+race conditions. This means that it's unlikely to work well if your
+users have multiple tabs open at once, or if your site does a lot of AJAX
+requests.

+L<Catalyst::Plugin::StatusMessage> is the recommended alternative solution,
+as this doesn't suffer from these issues.

For example:
- __PACKAGE__->config('Plugin::Session' => { expires => 10000000000 }); # "forever"
+ __PACKAGE__->config('Plugin::Session' => { expires => 10000000000 }); # "forever"
(NB If this number is too large, Y2K38 breakage could result.)
