me too. i'm already using it in fact. i just don't know how to make it
indexable. having it be a standard type, with someone who knows postgres
making it indexable, would be really great for the MAPS project and for
some WHOIS/LDAP stuff we're doing here.

i remain ready to help anyone who promises to drive this thing. and while
i feel that "cidr" is the right name, i don't feel it strongly enough to
refuse to help unless that name is chosen. i need the functionality, and
if it appears under some other name i will use it under that name.
