Hope you don't mind my marking something that's for the contrib
directory with *REPOST* like this, but Marc did ask us to, and I
did post this back on Februaray 1, so...
I'm including an update to my user defined IP and MAC address type
implementation that's in contrib/ip_and_mac/. This one works right
with 6.3, avoids the problems I ran into earlier with LIKE, and
includes a bit of extra functionality.
Here's an idea for the TODO list, by the way: make it doable without
resorting to black magic to make a user defined type indexable! :-)
