Conversation
The previous NamedPipeServer doc example seemed to imply that the return type of `NamedPipeServer::connect()` was a `Future<Result<some_kind_of_client>>>`, however, `connect()` returns a `Future<Result<()>>>`. The following line of code reopening the pipe would shadow the newly connected pipe immediately, making the following spawned task pointless. Hopefully these changes make it more clear what should be happening in the example.

Motivation
The previous NamedPipeServer doc example seemed to imply that the return type of
NamedPipeServer::connect()was aFuture<Result<some_kind_of_client>>>, however,connect()returns aFuture<Result<()>>>. The following line of code reopening the pipe would shadow the newly connected pipe immediately, making the following spawned task pointless.Solution
Instead, now it binds the original named pipe to a new variable after a client connects, allowing for the subsequent task to be able use the connection.
