In short, with this new feature, specifying an ORPort without an
address will automatically bind tor to [::]:<port> and attempt to find 
the
IPv6 address by looking at (in this order):

   1. "Address" from torrc
   2. "ORPort address:port" from torrc
   3. Interface address. First public IPv6 is used.
   4. Local hostname, DNS AAAA query.

Yes, I always try to be as special as possible. Software voodoo can 
often give unexpected errors or security vulnerabilities.
Especially when I have several IP's on one interface, I always write IP 
and IPv6 in Address, ORPort, OutboundBindAddress, ...
And IPv6 always in brackets, even if you don't necessarily have to do 
that with some software.

Yes, but then:

Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Address [xxxx:xxxx:xxx:x:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx]
ORPort 9001

or
Address host.domain.tld -> (DNS A & AAAA record must be set correctly)
ORPort 9001
