I was thinking along the lines of scp/rsync paths.  The ':' (colon)
separator is very useful to separate a local host from a remote one. I
have seldom had the need to use ports other than the default, for that a
--port PORT switch seem more appropriate to me, even though rsync
supports the :PORT syntax.  I'll have a look at it later.
