 "Checks if the socket is known to be closed. We won't be aware if it is
 until we either use it or have explicitily shut it down." Instead of this
 we should do a sample query and if we get a SocketError, then return a
 False.

 {{{

 def is_alive(self):
   try:
     self.send("GETINFO version")
    except SocketError:
      self._is_alive = False
   return self._is_alive

 }}}
