I think Denis has this right. You're misinterpreting what host and
hostaddr "mean", in a broader sense, and so the suggested split of
port/portaddr is drawing a parallel where none exists.

Maybe there are good features that would help the UX for a local SSH
tunnel, but I don't get the sense that this is one.
