The class Connections is used to manage a set of instances of the class Connect by providing a means to map an index or opaque pointer to an instance of Connect.
When a new instance of Connect (or a descendent of
Connect; See Section 3.2) is created, it
is added to the Connections object using the add_connect
member function. add_connect returns an integer that can be
used to access that instance of Connect at any time. Similarly, when
an instance of Connect is to be deleted, the object can be
referred to via the Connections object and this index.
