     * Prevent async ClusterPipeline instances from becoming "false-y" in case of empty command stack (#3061)
     * Close Unix sockets if the connection attempt fails. This prevents `ResourceWarning`s. (#3314)
     * Close SSL sockets if the connection attempt fails, or if validations fail. (#3317)
