+                          * Or to say this differently: VARLINK_STATE_IS_ALIVE(state) tells you whether the

+                          * yet. connecting=true then informs you that actually we are still connecting, and
+                          * the connection is actually not established yet and thus any requests you enqueue
+                          * now will still work fine but will be queued only, not sent yet, but that
+                          * shouldn't stop you from using the connection, since eventually whatever you queue
+                          * *will* be sent.
