I think a general purpose address class should store the arguments
required to look up an address using "getaddrinfo". This means
1) It sould store a service name instead of the port.
2) It should also contain an addrinfo containing the hints. 

The getaddrinfo could then be wrapped in two classes address_info_list
and address_info.
