Actually, that's not true. Quoting from the linked readme file,
: IP4R therefore supports six distinct data types:
:
: ip4 - a single IPv4 address
: ip4r - an arbitrary range of IPv4 addresses
: ip6 - a single IPv6 address
: ip6r - an arbitrary range of IPv6 addresses
: ipaddress - a single IPv4 or IPv6 address
: iprange - an arbitrary range of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses
