For __remote_exec, the custom implementation must behave as if it where ssh.
For __remote_copy, it must behave like scp.
Please notice, custom implementations should work like ssh/scp so __remote_copy
must support IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets. For __remote_exec you
must take into account that for some options (like -L) IPv6 addresses can be
specified by enclosed in square brackets (see :strong:`ssh`\ (1) and
:strong:`scp`\ (1)).
With this simple interface the user can take total control of how cdist
interacts with the target when required, while the default implementation

Notice: if you use __remote_copy or __remote_exec directly in your scripts
then for IPv6 address with __remote_copy execution you should enclose IPv6
address in square brackets. The same applies to __remote_exec if it behaves
the same as ssh for some options where colon is a delimiter, as for -L ssh
option (see :strong:`ssh`\ (1) and :strong:`scp`\ (1)).

NOTES
-----
cdist detects if host is specified by IPv6 address. If so then remote_copy
command is executed with host address enclosed in square brackets
(see :strong:`scp`\ (1)).
