##### Description

A variant-like type that can represent the network address of a MySQL server, regardless of the transport type being used. It can contain either a host and port (to connect using TCP) or a UNIX path (to connect using UNIX domain sockets).

This class may be extended in the future to accomodate Windows named pipes.

This type has value semantics: it is owning and regular.
