I believe we don't actually have a problem here. To me, this makes sense.
I'm not a Networking expert, but from my standpoint, any string or IP
accepted by the "host" parameter of psql, pointing to "127.0.0.1" or to "::1", is correct.
I see it as a convention (would need to revisit Tanenbaum's books haha),
and I don't think there's a need to modify it. But as you mentioned, if someone
with more Networking knowledge could weigh in, a suggestion would be welcome.

This type of modification, in principle, does not generate errors as we
are only changing the display on screen of the strings already previously stored.

It seems to me that "appended" sounds good. I opted for it.
Following your suggestion, and merging this with the existing
previous ideas from the documentation, I've created a provisional
prototype of the column descriptions. At a later stage, I'll place the
descriptions correctly by removing placeholders (blah blah blah).
Along with this, I'll evaluate an iteration suggested by Nathan Bossart,
who also proposed changes.
Thank you for your work.
