we don't need to...
When we write IPv4 compatible address it can look:
:k.l.m.n:o.p.q.r
but it can't look:
:k.l.m.n:o.p.q.r.s
If our resolver function 'll count how many dot's it got after last :
and if there's no next :, and it's 5th dot, it can get it as port.
I think it can be good idea, but we should check if it would be hard to
implement.
