##### SUMMARY
<!--- Explain the problem briefly below, add suggestions to wording or structure -->
The [main configuration documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#ansible-pipelining) says that pipelining is enabled in the `ssh_connection` or `connection` section.

The [ssh connection plugin](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/connection/ssh.html#parameter-pipelining) configuration says pipelining should  be enabled in the `defaults` section.

#31125 (and the associated commit) seems to imply that the `ssh_connection` section is legacy, but the comments (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31125#issuecomment-334071699) seem to say otherwise.

The actual sections (as demonstrated in the configuration section below) that works are `ssh_connection` and `connection`.
