#65033: Suggestion for commenting the format of DB_HOST in wp-config-sample.php

 in wp-config-sample.php the entry for DB_HOST is simply:

 /** Database hostname */
 define( ‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

 I would suggest adding something similar to the following comment:
 /** the format for DB_HOST can also contain either a port or socket or
 both **/
 /** the format for both is: ‘{hostname}:{port}:/path/to/socket’ **/
