------------------------------------------------------------
The {{--host}} argument is misnamed (it does not listen to one host - it
listens to the interface for that IP address). It's commented out of the
Fuseki code as being confusing.
Do you have a use case for it? It could be restored with a better name.
Generally, Fuseki standalone server does not try to to provide security
features (in the broad sense), but rather replies on the deployment
environment. e.g. (AWS) run on a server with only port 80 available, run
Apache httpd on that port and proxy to Fuseki. There are many features needed
so getting them delivered by a system specializing in that seems better.
The one case that does make sense is only talking to the localhost. e.g. an
argument {{--localhost}} (and no argument).
