33   This function tried to 'guess' the appropriate socket address from _string.
34   It currently creates an internet domain address if a ':' is encountered and
35   a local domain address if the string returns true on -isAbsolutePath.
36   The function returns nil if the string argument is nil or empty.
37 
38   Examples are:
39 
40     INET:   "*:20000"           // wildcard IP, port 20000
41             "localhost:1000"    // localhost, port 1000
42             "*:echo/udp"        // wildcard IP, echo service on UDP
43             "*:echo"            // wildcard IP, echo service on TCP (TCP=default)
