```
(with-connection (name client session &rest options) &body body)
```

Bind NAME to a control connection and close the original resource on exit.
Evaluate CLIENT, SESSION and OPEN-CONNECTION options once. BODY accepts
declarations and returns all its values. Rebinding NAME cannot redirect cleanup.
After normal return, propagate cleanup failure; during an error or nonlocal
exit, preserve that exit and record cleanup failure on the connection.

## Parameters

- `(name client session &rest options)`
