That is precisely the patch’s drawback. Connecting lazily rather
than eagerly is a feature.
However, that’s not hard to correct, although the patch would be
larger: rather than squirreling away a connection in `new`,
squirrel away a reference to an undef scalar. Then you can assign
the handle to that scalar, and it will be shared among everyone
who kept a copy of the same reference.
