Old version recognizes the first ':', which prevents use of ':' in
host names. They are used in numerical IPv6 addresses. New version
recognizes the last ':', which prevents use of ':' in service names.
Old version treats empty host or port specially (use default).
Documentation suggests ':' is required, but the code doesn't do that.
Instead, the argument is interpreted as host, even when it's empty.
New version makes the HOST: part optional. You can't specify host and
default the port. Tough. Keeps documentation and code as simple as
possible.
Compare:
old version new version
argument host port host port
"" "" default default ""
"A" "A" default default "A"
":" default default "" ""
"A:" "A" default "A" ""
":B" default "B" "" "B"
"A:B" "A" "B" "A" "B"
