Added session usage example

SessionState

@@ -9 +9 @@
 == Usage ==
 
+When the session filter is enabled (which is the default), a plain Python `dict` is made available as the [wiki:ApplicationObject#ApplicationContextVariables application context variable] `app.ctxt.session`. It should usually not be necessary to access that dictionary directly, as the `diva.session` module provides a couple of module-level functions to read, write and delete session data.
+
+For example, a simple request handler accessing the session might look like this:
+
+{{{
+#!python
+from diva import session
+from diva.templating import output, render
+
+@output('test.html')
+def test(request, response):
+    cnt = session.get('counter', 0) + 1
+    session.set('counter', cnt)
+    return render(counter=cnt)
+}}}
+
