I'm simply using getaddrinfo() wherever I can in order to not
have to open that entire kettle of fish.

If "[ip]:port" is ratified, then getaddrinfo() should be taught
about it.

In the meantime I think I will change varnishd to use a ' '
separator so that you could either write:

	-b '[::1]:80'	(if getaddrinfo() learns the trick)
or
	-b '::1 80'	(until then)
