Well, a reluctant yes.  I've been enjoying the notation of '127.1' (and
it's hardcoded to several scripts of mine).

This is actually a hard decision; from the compatibility point of view
inet_aton should allow non-standard forms, but from the standard's point
of view it shouldn't.  I'd rather leave this to the current trend (of
which I don't have the vaguest idea).

Regards,
Eugene
