I like the new (to me, anyway) ip= behaviour.  parseip() and isv4()
provide everything that's needed at the C level to distinguish the
two.  ndb/dns already does this right thing wrt A vs.  AAAA.  Are you
thinking of it as an analog to proto=il, perhaps?

Back to my original question: what currently uses the ipv6= tag?  We
need to update the man pages at least.
