Yup - sounds good to me.

We'd clearly need to define which takes precedence.
In that particular case, I'd want to start deprecating the trailing-port
style, so I'd say that
trapsink tcp:localhost:4321 public 1234
and trapsink tcp:localhost:4321 public
should be regarded as equivalent.
But
trapsink tcp:localhost public 1234
and trapsink tcp:localhost:1234 public
should also be equivalent (for backward compatibility).
That would also probably be the simplest to implement.
(just passing these two fields to the new API call).
