What's the point? You'll still need a retry loop around the connection
operation, in case of wrong response or too slow response.
I would also argue that holding a connection open for many seconds
while the user enters a password is not a net conservation of resources
compared to trying again, ie, the premise of Tatsuo-san's complaint is
dubious to begin with.
