My server manages vanilla Telnet connections with a Connection object. All the Telnet protocol stuff is in an easily replaced method though, for subclassing. I want to keep it so Telnet is always supported, and thus the default connection type. But connections can be upgraded to a higher protocol, if they ask for it. That's why I thought it would be cool to just upgrade the object reference when the request comes in. Tell me if you see chinks in that suit of armor though, I'm all ears.
