Comment (by donn):
Re semantics of inet4 - to be precisely symmetric with the implementation
of 'inet6', it would ask for IPv6 addresses to be converted somehow to
IPv4. You would do that if you have no IPv4 support (and only if - no
guarantee this kind of "tunneling" will work well!) You can more loosely
interpret "inet6" as "want IPv6 addresses only", where "inet4" means "want
IPv4 addresses only"; the lack of symmetry in implementation is natural.
