Did you happen to have a preference with regard to the specifier for IPv6 addresses:
I was thinking of using %pI6 to replace NIP6() and NIP6_FMT and using %#pI6 for NIP6_SEQFMT.
On the IPv4 side, maybe use %pI4 for network endian NIPQUAD() and NIPQUAD_FMT and then %#pI4 for host-endian HIQUAD(), as displaying the IPv4 address without the periods isn't useful?
What do you think of that?
