-I<###>
+Creates a new Connection object, and immediately connects it to the
+specified server.  If you want to make a new Connection object but
+delay forging the connection, use the C<create()> and C<connect()>
+methods instead.
+
+This constructor can be called with two arguments or a single
+argument.  In the former case, the arguments are the name and port
+number of the Z39.50 server to connect to; in the latter case, the
+single argument is a YAZ service-specifier string of the form

+=back
+
+In which the I<host> and I<port> parts are as in the two-argument
+form, the I<databaseName> if provided specifies the name of the
+database to be used in subsequent searches on this connection, and the
+optional I<scheme> (default C<tcp>) indicates what protocol should be
+used.  At present, the following schemes are supported:

+Z39.50 connection.

+
+Z39.50 connection encrypted using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).  Not
