I don't recall whether it appeared in the original thread, but I'm
unclear on whether a matching change for consistency is needed to
getservbyname[_r] -- if decimal strings are not considered service
records for the purpose of reverse mapping (as a result of the
proposed change to getservbyport[_r]) then should they also not be
records in the forward mapping? I want to know what other
implementations do and evaluate whether the inconsistency or the
inability to forward-map decimal port strings is more of a problem.
