 Oops -- wrapping in square brackets automatically doesn't work because
 the Host field is the only place to put a port, so it really is the
 user's responsibility to wrap in square brackets (since otherwise it
 would be ambiguous with a port), which also isn't very clear.
 
 Or, we could have a separate Port field.
