Rails - Jul 2006 - session scoped controllers

I was wondering if the notion of session scoped controllers has ever 
been discussed?

The idea is that you could do something like this:

def MyController < ActionController::SessionBase

  def step1
    @favorite_color = params[:color]
  end

  def step2
    # when step2 is hit by the user
    # @favorite_color would auto-magically be here
    puts "favorite color is #{@favorite_color}"
  end

end

I realize this could be accomplished by stashing stuff in the session, 
but I thought the abstraction might be interesting.

thoughts?
