Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 jct]:
 > The new attached patch is doing the suggested previously.

 > The included suite test ('''ticket-6124-test.py''') is testing the new
 function '''ip_ver''', the modified '''parse_addr_spec''' and the
 Facilitator behaviour with IPv4/IPv6 proxies and clients.

 I am not quite happy with this patch. It rewrites `parse_addr_spec` in a
 less straightforward way, and changes its behavior in ways that are not
 obvious.

 I added some of the test cases to master; these are the only new tests I
 want. I don't want an `ip_ver` that is complicated enough to need lots of
 tests.

 I'll attach a patch that is more in line with how I want this to be
 implemented. Please base the remaining work off of it. (Apply it with `git
 am`.)
