-------------------------------------

The only difference is that for byId SessionImpl overrides the declared return type to IdentifierLoadAccessImpl rather than IdentifierLoadAccess (covariant return).  But the IdentifierLoadAccessImpl should not be "seen" unless you attempt to call the method on a reference of type SessionImpl itself, rather than Session
