I am not familiar with how things are done in ipv6 land, but I
wonder if the former is consistent with the existing practice.

That is, how does one do something like this, with an ipv6
literal address?

	telnet 127.0.0.1 80

Is it done like this

	telnet '[::1]' 80

or
	telnet '::1' 80

Your patch suggests the former, but I just wanted to make sure.

The latter "ssh://[...]" looks like RFC 3986, and I do not have
problems with.
