Is that an error?  From the discussions with Paul Vixie, I think that
that is the correct way to output it.  Note that you can always use
host() to get the full string for the host part at least.

I guess I'll take a stab at it.  I just need to know which of the following
is true.
   198.68.123.0/24 < 198.68.123.0/27   198.68.123.0/24 > 198.68.123.0/27

Also, is it possible that the current behaviour is what we want?  It seems
to me that if you make a network a primary key, you probably want to prevent
overlap.  What we have does that.

Why not just add comments to pg_description?
