Re: [HACKERS] Summary: what to do about INET/CIDR

[Alex Pilosov]

one more small request:

int8_inet(inet) and inet_int8(int8): functions to convert an inet to an
int8 and back. (not an int4, since postgres int4s are signed)

This allows me to do some additional manipulations on values. (ie. given a
host, determine its default gateway, for us, it is always first host on
that network, this could be implemented as inet_int8(int8_inet(network(x))+1), 
or splitting a cidr into two halves,
