The right way to close a connection.

[yjqiang]

I create a websocket connection by using "websockets.connect()", but maybe the connection is broken or other things wrong, so I have to close it and then reconnect. I think https://websockets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#websockets.protocol.WebSocketCommonProtocol.close is what I want. Am I right?
And I noticed one thing which makes me confused, "It’s safe to wrap this coroutine in ensure_future() since errors during connection termination aren’t particularly useful.", Why? I don't understand it.

And if I close the client by hands but receive pool on the client still have some data to read (but I don't need to handle it and I just want to ignore the data). Is it safe?

Yes, it's safe to close connections, unread data will be discarded.

An option to reconnect automatically was requested in #414, so I'm going to close this issue as a duplicate.
