Since you asked... maybe we need a new convenience function that deals with
the new transport stuff and takes a parameter for a default, should one not be
encountered in the specified string. This could be used in several places.

It gets tricky, though. For example, trapsinks are defines as:

        trapsink HOST [COMMUNITY [PORT]]

So, what if you get

        trapsink tcp:localhost:4321 public 1234

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
