/// The interface for HTTP clients that take care of maintaining persistent
/// connections across multiple requests to the same server. If you only need to
/// send a single request, it's usually easier to use [head], [get], [post],
/// [put], [patch], or [delete] instead.
///
/// When creating an HTTP client class with additional functionality, you must
/// extend [BaseClient] rather than [Client]. In most cases, you can wrap
/// another instance of [Client] and add functionality on top of that. This
/// allows all classes implementing [Client] to be mutually composable.
