Just checking, @pdxlocations - do you use this domain for mqtt or know of people that do, or is this more of a request to make the function "complete" ?

I had been using, for example: raspberrypi.local to connect to my broker. I've since changed to using the IP address to take advantage of the iPrivateIpAddress function.

The feature request is not dire but as you said to make the function "complete". If we want to honor "All" local addresses adding .local may save a user some frustration. Alternatively, or in addition to, I'd be happy to write something up for the docs listing the allowable formats.
