For keeping consistency it has to be a throw-away, because quite many connects actually do something and would create an object in a state one is most likely not interested in. If otherwise, the modification can just be sticked to the instance - as per the beauty of JavaScript.
Therefore, I came up with the idea of passing no parms which makes it comparable with the default constructor in Java and it can be assured that nothing unwanted happens. Going that route is the easiest for keeping the require().connect() pattern vs. returning class.
