// Dial connects to the address addr on the network net.
//
// Known networks are "tcp", "tcp4" (IPv4-only), "tcp6" (IPv6-only),
// "udp", "udp4" (IPv4-only), "udp6" (IPv6-only), "ip", "ip4"
// (IPv4-only), "ip6" (IPv6-only), "unix" and "unixgram".
//
// For IP networks, addresses have the form host:port.  If host is
// a literal IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in square brackets.
// The functions JoinHostPort and SplitHostPort manipulate 
// addresses in this form.
//
// Examples:
//	Dial("tcp", "12.34.56.78:80")
//	Dial("tcp", "google.com:80")
//	Dial("tcp", "[de:ad:be:ef::ca:fe]:80")
