FWIW `InetAddress.ofLiteral` accepts the enclosing "[]" because that's what
`InetAddress.getByName` does.
And as you noted `sun.net.util.IPAddressUtil.isIPv6LiteralAddress` is an
internal API - it parses the literal according to the IPv6 literal syntax
(which doesn't include the "[]")
jshell> InetAddress.getByName("[::1]")
$1 ==> /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
