On many systems, an interface address of 127.0.0.1 is not a wild-card
address for the entire subnet, not even on the loopback interface.
% telnet 127.0.0.2 22
Trying 127.0.0.2...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.2: Can't assign requested address
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
Therefore, I'll stick with host==/32 for all IPv4 addresses.
