I don't see how to generalise that to more complicated
protocol stacks, though.

For dealing with re-connections, it seems like both the
protocol *and* the transport need to outlive the connection
failure, and the transport needs a reconnect() method that
is called by a protocol that can deal with that situation.
Reconnection can then propagate along the whole chain.
