I take it that this ipv6-literal.net convention is microsoft-only and isn't
handled by getaddrinfo() automatically. Correct?

So we'd have to open-code an implementation of this ourselves. There's also a
problem with that scheme. According to wikipedia:

"If the IPv6 address contains a zone index, it is appended to the address
portion after an 's' character:"

    fe80--1s4.ipv6-literal.net.

...the problem is that our scopeid's are interface names. How do we distinguish
an "s" in an interface name from the "s" delimiter that microsoft uses here?

Thoughts?
