> The BisocketClientInvoker never reads from the control socket.  Therefore, it might take a long time for it to notice that the control connection dies, causing confusion between the client and server (for example, the client may reuse a listener ID that the server considers extinct).  By adding a ping reply mechanism, the client must both send and receive a ping for the connection to be known "good", which should help speed up the dead connection detection process.
> Since this change is protocol-incompatible, it should be enabled by a configuration option.  I'm using Bisocket.ENABLE_PING_REPLY = "enablePingReply" for this purpose.
