 open-network-stream should return an error when SERVICE is a
 string number


Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the list.

When I discover the bug in erc-default-port [1], I found that
open-network-stream behaves differently than
socks-open-network-stream WRT the SERVICE parameter:
=====
*** Welcome to IELM ***  Type (describe-mode) for help.
ELISP> (open-network-stream "http-www.gnu.org" nil "www.gnu.org" "80")
#<process http-www.gnu.org>
ELISP> (open-network-stream "http-www.gnu.org" nil "www.gnu.org" 80)
#<process http-www.gnu.org<1>>
ELISP> (open-network-stream "http-www.gnu.org" nil "www.gnu.org" "www")
#<process http-www.gnu.org<2>>

ELISP> (socks-open-network-stream "http-www.gnu.org" nil "www.gnu.org" "80")
*** Eval error ***  Wrong type argument: integerp, nil
ELISP> (socks-open-network-stream "http-www.gnu.org" nil "www.gnu.org" 80)
#<process socks<1>>
ELISP> (socks-open-network-stream "http-www.gnu.org" nil "www.gnu.org" "www")
#<process socks<2>>
ELISP> 
=====

To be consistent, shouldn't open-network-stream return the same error
as socks-open-network-stream when SERVICE is a string number?  This is
at least what it's in (describe-function 'open-network-stream):
=====
open-network-stream is a compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'.
(open-network-stream NAME BUFFER HOST SERVICE)
[...]
SERVICE is name of the service desired, or an integer specifying
 a port number to connect to.
=====

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
