New submission from Søren Løvborg:
Addition and subtraction of integers are documented for ipaddress.IPv4Address
and ipaddress.IPv6Address, but also work for IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface
(though the only documentation of this is a brief mention that the Interface
classes inherit from the respective Address classes). That's good.
The problem is that adding/subtracting an integer to an Interface object
changes the subnet mask (to max_prefixlen), something which is 1) not
documented and 2) not the least surprising result.
>>> import ipaddress
>>> ipaddress.IPv4Interface('10.0.0.1/8') + 1
IPv4Interface('10.0.0.2/32')
>>> ipaddress.IPv6Interface('fd00::1/64') + 1
IPv6Interface('fd00::2/128')
Changing this breaks backwards compatibility; though since the ipaddress module
was provisional until recently and the behavior is undocumented, I hope it's
not too late to change.
