> localhost means socket.

Hmm, I don't believe it does.  localhost is a DNS shortcut to the IP
address of the local machine.  

If that is how mysql wants to treat things, then it should issue an
error message on connect because --host=localhost and --port=anything
would then be mutually exclusive.  

Thanks.
