Redesigning the inet/cidr distinction is on the to-do list (though I'm
afraid not very high on the list). ISTM it should either be one type
with a distinguishing bit in the runtime representation, or two types
with no such bit needed. Having both is a schizophrenic design. It's
led directly to bugs in the past, and I think there are still some
corner cases that act oddly (see the archives).
