Since it's sort-of related: netstat(1) will drop trailing 0's from
the routes it prints out, ie 10.2.3.0/24 will print as 10.2.3/24
(though route(8) won't accept 10.2.3/24 as an input).
IMHO, having a 172.16 mean a network address of 172.16.0.0 or a
host address of 172.0.0.16 is somewhat confusing...
