[postmodern-devel] with-connection is strange...

It indeed used to not evaluate it's spec (which explains the silly
comment, there was also a with-connection* which did), but now it
does, since this makes using it much easier -- you'll usually want to
pass such a spec around as a list, and it's clumsy to have to unpack
it every time you use the macro:

(with-connection ((car spec) (cadr spec) (caddr spec)) ...)

So in version 1.1 (I think) I dropped the old non-evaluating version,
and made only this one available. I'll change the docstring.

Best,
Marijn
