@ Gemini client developers: both of these URLs should work (certificate
errors aside):
gemini://2a02:7b40:592f:a446::1/
gemini://[2a02:7b40:592f:a446::1]:1965/

RFC 3986 :

3.2.2. Host

The host subcomponent of authority is identified by an IP literal encapsulated within square brackets, an IPv4 address in dotted- decimal form, or a registered name.
