//
// connection - a (potentially) persistent access path to a (possibly :-) remote entity.
//
// Connection objects are the bearers of actual network (or other) I/O. They are distinct
// from Transfers, which embody an individual activity for a particular client (and Target).
// To do its stuff, a Transfer "docks" with a Connection, uses its resources, then "undocks"
// and leaves the Connection free to dock again with another Transfer (or, eventually, expire).
//
// Access protocols that do not have persistent state connections (e.g. FILE) will not use
// Connections at all; there is no requirement for a Transfer to use a Connection for its work.
//
// Actual Connection objects are specialized per protocol; for example, you'd expect
// an HTTPTransfer to dock to an HTTPConnection. If you subclass an existing protocol,
// you *may* be able to get away with using its Connection objects - but more often you'd
// subclass them in turn.
