// Dial connects to the remote address raddr on the network net.
// If the string laddr is not empty, it is used as the local address
// for the connection.
//
// Known networks are "tcp", "tcp4" (IPv4-only), "tcp6" (IPv6-only),
// "udp", "udp4" (IPv4-only), "udp6" (IPv6-only), "ip", "ip4"
// (IPv4-only), "ip6" (IPv6-only), "unix" and "unixgram".
//
// For IP networks, addresses have the form host:port.  If host is
// a literal IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in square brackets.
//
// Examples:
//	Dial("tcp", "", "12.34.56.78:80")
//	Dial("tcp", "", "google.com:80")
//	Dial("tcp", "", "[de:ad:be:ef::ca:fe]:80")
//	Dial("tcp", "127.0.0.1:123", "127.0.0.1:88")
