Description
Django 1.3 introduced support for more than one cache to be defined. However, the cache-based session store backend does not support using a non-default backend.
A configuration option should be available to select the cache to be used by the Django session store cache backend.
Use case: One may want the session store to be kept in a replicated cache (to prevent user-visible disruption during failover events) vs cached data which can be regenerated without user-visible impact beyond performance.
Use case: One may want the session store to be kept in a distributed cache while keeping other content in a system-local cache.

For consistency with other parts of Django, I'd prefer adding a setting (yeah...) rather than hardcoding a cache name.

Yes, this is a good suggestion.
