The docs for scoped_connection seem to be wacked as well. For example,
its destructor docs are:

    Destructor
    ~connection(); 
     ^^^^^^^^^^
    Effects: this->disconnect() 

Aside from the name, this can't be right. AFAICT from the docs (which
ain't much), scoped_connection implements shared ownership of the
connection object.

Oops, I'm wrong! Looking at the implementation, though it is copyable
the first copy which gets destroyed kills the connection. I can't
understand why anyone would want these semantics. This class makes no
sense to me the way it's implemented.
