Oh, well. What is happening is that the string is converted into an KURL, which \
automatically lowercases the hostname. (KURL obviously considers the whole string the \
hostname.) So the fix would be to treat the address everywhere as a string instead as \
a KURL. Hmm, I don't know how much work that would be. (And currently don't have the \
time to work on this.)
