It should also clarify that the connection is only closed if no other clones exist, not alwayy when accept returns. I.e. if you send the connection or a clone to another task via a channel and return from accept, the connection will stay alive until closed explicitly by user code with Connection::close or until the last clone of Connection is dropped.
