I agree, and it should have both variants, 

getByAddtess(String literalAddress) throws UHE

getByAdress(String hostname, String  literalAddress) throws UHE


In order to produce resolved addresses as well. 

(The UHE is a bit strange but the preexisting method used it for a reason for invalid address arrays, I guess)
