##### 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`.

utf-8 then we have to figure out how to transform it to unicode.
            If the value is just going to be displayed to the user (or
            discarded) then the default of 'replace' is fine.  If the data is
            used as a key or is going to be written back out to a file
            verbatim, then this won't work.  May have to use some sort of
            replacement strategy (python3 could use surrogateescape)
