Calling this function returns an object which represents the session.
>>> import grass.jupyter as gj

The session is ended when `session.finish` is called or when the object is
destroyed when kernel ends or restarts. This function returns a copy of an
internally kept reference, so the return value can be safely ignored when not
needed.
The returned object can be used to switch to another mapset:
>>> session.switch_mapset("mapset_name")
Subsequent calls to the *init* function result in switching the mapset if
a session is active and result in creation of new session if it is not active.
On the other hand, if you see ``GISRC - variable not set`` after calling
a GRASS module, you know you don't have an active GRASS session.
