 The `'session'` event will be emitted multiple times.
 
+The `'session'` event handler *may* be an async function.
+
+If the `'session'` event handler throws an error, or if it returns a `Promise`
+that is rejected, the error will be handled by destroying the `QuicServerSession`
+automatically and emitting a `'sessionError'` event on the `QuicSocket`.

+Emitted when an error occurs processing an event related to a specific
+`QuicSession` instance. The callback is invoked with two arguments:
+
+* `error` {Error} The error that was either thrown or rejected.
+* `session` {QuicSession} The `QuicSession` instance that was destroyed.
+
+The `QuicSession` instance will have been destroyed by the time the
+`'sessionError'` event is emitted.
