If you don't, then this entire thread is moot.  We have to be able to
disambiguate between those two, because some peer names can be
confused with IP addresses (in a nonstandard format), but host names
should be distinct from IP addresses.  Consider that "1" should be
evaluated first as a possible peer name, secondly as a hostname, and only
finally as an IP address (because this third possibility will always return
a positive result).
