Actually, we use the word “remake” as well in comments in
connection.c: e.g., “If the connection needs to be *remade* due to
invalidation, disconnect as soon as we're out of all transactions.” in
GetConnection().  But I don’t have a strong opinion about that, so
I’ll change the word as proposed.

Actually, I modified the comment to match existing comments like the
one mentioned above.  I think the patch would actually be more
consistent.

Ok, I’ll drop the word “later”.

Thanks!
