Thanks. Yes, we need to be able to specify a timeout. Both for making
the connection and for waiting for a response.
Since the number of options is likely to increase, using a dict instead
of positional arguments is appropriate. We do need default values:
mode default "json"
callback default: none
waittime default: zero (waiting for the server)
timeout default: 1 second (waiting for response)
Something like that. Could also use a separate call to set the response
timeout, like there is a way to set the callback with sethandler().
We could end up with lots of functions though. perhaps a channelconfig()
function with a dict argument is better.
I think we should normally assume that the server is already running.
This allows for using a connect() call to check for that, and allow for
starting the server if it fails.
let handle = connect("localhost:1234")
if handle < 0
call StartServer()
let handle = connect("localhost:1234" {"waittime": 3})
endif
