+| SMB3      | SMB 3.0 through 3.1.1   |

+`Auto` never negotiates SMB1. SMB1 is deprecated and insecure: select it only
+for isolated legacy devices that support nothing newer. A warning is shown in
+the form while SMB1 is selected.

+Bookmarks store the selection under the `dialect` key of the SMB table

+have no `dialect` key and behave as `Auto`. The address syntax below does not
+carry a version; connections started from the command line use `Auto`.
