implementation SHOULD
support the following format:

<address>%<zone_id>

where

<address> is a literal IPv6 address,

<zone_id> is a string identifying the zone of the address, and

`%' is a delimiter character to distinguish between <address> and
<zone_id>.

so this is clearly standardized.
It should be mentioned in docs that PostgreSql does not support ipv6 and
attempt to use will cause crash.
