Yeah, ContactManager is there, but actually it's made "ready" as part of making
the Connection ready, with no way to prepare it further independently. Nothing
stops us from making it a full-blown ReadyObject with some features of its own
in an API/ABI break, though. To not counter-act what we're doing here,
Connection should make its "core" (the current functionality) ready as part of
making itself ready, though :)
