ok
I have some comments, but I think you should commit this. Further
tweaks can follow later.

I don't object, but I wonder how much detail is needed. Since time
immemorial, ports could always be specified as a number or a service
name ("telnet mailserver smtp"). It's only worth mentioning if
service names are _not_ supported for some reason. I pondered the
issue when I added support for service names to ssh, and eventually
decided to just leave it alone.

The example given in the previous text may be unelegant, but it helps
me understand what this actually does,
