Having surprisingly little opportunity to call socket.connect directly in my
work (considering the bulk of my programming is for the web), I'll note for
the record that the direct calls I've made to socket.connect all have two
arguments: host and port.  It never occurred to me that there would even be
a one-argument version.  After all, why look at the docs for help if what
you're doing already works?
