      WrappedConnection::bindAsUser invokes an underlying LDAP connection's bindAsUser method, by is scheduling a lambda onto an executor which calls the method, and waiting for the resolution of a result future. This future might be resolved by successful conclusion of the lambda, or by a timeout alarm.

      Unfortunately, it is possible for the timeout to elapse and for WrappedConnection::bindAsUser to return with a not-OK Status before the lambda completes its execution. This means that reference captured variables used by the lambda might fall out of scope while they are being used.
