An integer index doesn't do it for me.  Maybe I'm the only one.

It is part of an IP address.  It isn't a new concept to think about
the network and host parts of an IP address separately.  Why would we
change the notation from dotted quad (ipv4) to integer just because we
mask out the network part?  Am I alone in this?
