Some options actually support an obsolete form using "/" as a separator
but we've been deprecating that because for better or worse the world
has  settled on ":" with square brackets and "/" can be misinterpreted
as a subnet specification.

Anyway, I think we could require square brackets when supplying a port.
 That would give the following semantics which would be backward
compatible:
 - no colons: IPv4 or hostname
 - one colon: IPv4 and port or hostname and port
 - two or more colons and no square brackets: bare IPv6 address.
 - two or more colons and square brackets: IPv6 address and port.

I got as far as adding a unit test to make I don't break it any
further.
