Comment(by dcf):

 Replying to [comment:2 asn]:
 > I started thinking that maybe it would make sense to change the behavior
 of `fmt_addr()` so that it does decorate IPv6 addresses by default, but
 then `jeroen` in IRC reminded me that bracket decoration is only necessary
 when ':' is used a separator, and maybe we shouldn't decorate all the
 addresses.

 Maybe what you want is a new `fmt_addr_port` or similar that takes both an
 address and a port number. This would additionally allow factoring out
 some `"%s:%u"` and `"%s:%d"` formats; such specifiers can be taken as
 hints that decoration is needed.
