Hi,

Since the symbol ":" is not allowed in hostnames or IPv4 addresses,
can't we make Nmap assume "-6" by default when one of the targets
contains ":"? I don't see any case where a user would use ":" in a
target if he doesn't mean IPv6. Even in the remote case that we wanted
to support syntaxes like "insecure.org:443", we could always check for
more than one colon, since IPv6 addresses have a least two (eg. fe80::1).

Regards,

Luis.
