Yes, but I don't like that much my patch... I think that
server\instance and server:port should be symmetric...

0.62

"server\instance" -> look for section "server\instance"
"server:port" -> look for section server with port set to "port"

0.82

"server\instance" -> look for section "server" with instance set to "instance"
"server:port" -> look for section "server" with port set to "port"

my proposed patch

"server\instance" -> look for section "server\instance", if not found
look for section "server" with instance set to "instance"
"server:port" -> look for section "server" with port set to "port"

as you can note is not symmetric... I proposed this way

"server\instance" -> look for section "server\instance", if not found
look for section "server" with instance set to "instance"
"server:port" -> look for section "server:port", if not found look for
section "server" with port set to "port"
