Hello,

a number of IETF protocols-and-whatnots are operating on unsigned 24bit
(or 3-octet) entities. For example:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7471#section-4.1.5
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7471#section-4.4.5
SRGB range start/length in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8669

I wonder whether it would make sense to provide something like:

type uint24 {
   type uint32;
   range 0..16777215;
}

in ietf-inet-types as a common base type for such definitions.

Regards,
Robert
