The following causes a ValueError in the create_connection convenience function

import socket

sock1 = socket.create_connection(('::1', '80'))
sock2 = socket.create_connection(sock1.getpeername())

Also note that a regular socket.connect() call supports the full form address:

>>> sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>> sock.connect(('::1', 12345, 0, 0))

Matthew, are you interested in submitting a Github PR for this issue?

The naive change is to have the host, port tuple assignment use only the first two values from address. I can open a PR with that change (and update the docstring for the function) if that's the right change. For reference, the python socketpair implementation (if _socket is missing it) ignores flow_info and scope_id, but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do.

I think we still want the full tuple passed to connect().  We may want
to truncate the tuple when used for other purposes.
