What about cases where I only want one or the other? Would a simple method
exist to limit input to v4 or v6 only?
Also, what are the implications to functions such as network_sub,
network_cmp, etc. when given mixed v4/v6 inputs as could easily happen if the
two are freely mixed in the same data type?
Cheers,
Steve
