+ * This test case tests the scenario where released connections are not
+ * being destroyed after the idle timeout has passed, to do this we setup
+ * a pool with a connection limit of 3, and a max idle of 2, and an idle
+ * timeout of 1 second. We then create 3 connections, and release them
+ * after 1 second, we then check that the pool has 0 connections, and 0
+ * free connections.
