I agree this is very far from optimal, but adding special-casing
IPv6 address by IPv6 address is certainly *not* the way forward.

The real question is, what does "::1:8080" mean ?

Please propose the exact algorithm you prose for turning strings
into IP numbers, and bear in mind that we need to be able to
include port numbers.
