BTW, further digging shows that when the platform has neither
getaddrinfo nor inet_aton, we fall back to src/port/inet_aton.c,
which is a BSD-derived bit of code that behaves exactly as per
your man page quote.

So I'm pretty well convinced that your gripe is misdirected: you
should be complaining to the authors of your C library.
