;; <connection> class is built-in.
;; It defines a generic interface of a connection capable of
;; bidirectional communication to another entity.
;;
;; The data communication is abstracted as a pair of input and
;; ouptut ports.  They can be accessed by connection-input-port
;; and connection-output-port.
;;
;; A connected connection has two endpoints; self and peer.  Each
;; endpoint has an address.  We don't have any assumption on address,
;; except that it must respond to connection-address-name method.
;; For sockets, addresses are subclass of <sockaddr>.
;; If the connection allows unconnected state, the endpoint
;; addresses can be #f.
;;
;; Two methods to finish up the connection; connection-shutdown
;; breaks the connection to the peer---you can shutdown just one
;; of reading or writing channel, or both.  The connection-close
;; method destroys the resources in our side.  Note that close doesn't
;; imply shutdown---if you fork the process after establishing the
;; connection, you might want to close the endpoint in one process
;; but still want co keep communication from another process.
;;
;; We don't provide a generic interface of establishing connections;
;; that would vary greatly depending on the actual underlying mechanism,
;; and must be handled with such knowledge.  Connection interface
;; is useful for generic code that deals with established connections.
