    """Bare Telegram Client with just the minimum -

       The reason to distinguish between a MtProtoSender and a
       TelegramClient itself is because the sender is just that,
       a sender, which should know nothing about Telegram but
       rather how to handle this specific connection.

       The TelegramClient itself should know how to initialize
       a proper connection to the servers, as well as other basic
       methods such as disconnection and reconnection.

       This distinction between a bare client and a full client
       makes it possible to create clones of the bare version
       (by using the same session, IP address and port) to be
       able to execute queries on either, without the additional
       cost that would involve having the methods for signing in,
       logging out, and such.
