why is it necessary such complication, how many sessions you guys have per project?? I always have just one; "the last one".... I can imagine myself remembering what sessionA or sessionB was for if I have to deal with many ones per project.... 
I'm reading Andre  """Maybe just creating a list of matches and let the user select (and auto-open if there's only a single one) """ and I cannot give credit to my eyes....
This is a problem "already solved" by VS & Eclipse; don't you guys think we should embrace the already proven approach and put our creativity somewhere else...
