+    Primary/default implementation of SSH agent forwarding functionality.

+    Simply instantiate this class, handing it a live command-executing session

+    finds.
+
+    For example::
+
+        # Connect
+        client = SSHClient()
+        client.connect(host, port, username)
+        # Obtain session

+        # Forward local agent
+        AgentRequestHandler(session)
+        # Commands executed after this point will see the forwarded agent on
+        # the remote end.
