NICE. I'd like to tell you how excited I am about this part:

# It also handles a new network
# operator inet && inet (overlaps, a/k/a "is supernet or subnet of"),
# which is expected to be useful in exclusion constraints.

...but I can't, because my mouth is too full of drool. Wouldn't you
really want that more for cidr than for inet, though?
