Similar to append(), I'd like to close this gap, and I've made the necessary changes. This will probably break lots of code.
Similar to append(), I'd like people to fix their code rather than whine -- two-arg connect() has never been documented, although it's found in much code (even the socket module test code :-( ).
Similar to append(), I may revert the change if it is shown to cause too much pain during beta testing...
