Well, perhaps minor, but not wishlist, because I think it's silly to expect
people to maintain an IP access list without netmask support. It's 2006 :)

It doesn't even extend only to larger blocks - think smaller networks too -
how do you specify a /26, skip the next /27, and then include another /27?
It's simply painful :)
