The callbacks are injected into the standard ngx_rewrite module's
command list by means of the ndk_set_var submodule in the
ngx_devel_kit (NDK) module:

    https://github.com/simpl/ngx_devel_kit

The entry point of NDK called ngx_encrypted_session is
ndk_set_var_value. You can trace from there :)

The actual request-time caller of these configuration directives is
the standard ngx_rewrite module at the "rewrite" running phase.
