Dear Maintainer,
as per the subject, what about defining ip4-localhost and ip4-loopback
in /etc/hosts?

I see this was proposed also in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=427067#5
It's nothing major of course and it can be added locally, but it's quite
convenient.
I was testing some web app locally with both IPv4 and IPv6 and the test
links look a lot nicer and symmetric using the host names.
I can send a proper patch as attachment if there is interest.
Thanks,
Antonio

No, unless you can show a relevant RFC which requires this.
