I don't know how many people even use the replace dialog to begin with.  (We 
need sp... surreptitious user data collection...) But why should some people's 
occasional mistakes inconvenience everyone always?

I'm generally against adding more popups.  If there's truly no better way to 
solve the problem, at least the popup can be put behind a preference guard.  
Various preferences are easy to add.  Maintenance would be low because it would 
control one specific thing.  They don't interfere with the current incarnation 
of the config/session split, and any future transition would occur when the 
stash system is updated.

After making the mistake twice, aren't you going to be more careful going 
forward?  If there were a dialog "protecting" you, you might not be as careful, 
get into the habit of mindlessly accepting, then ... have the same thing 
happen, except instead of realizing after you clicked the "in session" button, 
you realize the mistake after accepting the confirmation dialog.  Then what?  A 
second confirmation popup?
