Here you're actually explaining why it's not irrelevant. You don't want
to enforce port numbers, so 2312::1234:8272 must be interpreted as an
IPv6 address without a port. This code however would take 8727 as the
port and 2312::1234 as the IPv6 address, which is not what you expected
(even after brackets are allowed - they don't make a difference because
the example doesn't use brackets).
