To be honest, given the indexing behaviour, I'm -1 on the idea of giving
the network address or broadcast address attribute names *at all*. Consider:
network_address = my_net[0]
broadcast_address = my_net[-1]
My only concern with this is a possible performance issue with v6
networks. Would this be implemented such that [-1] doesn't need to
iterate through the (possibly large) address space of a v6 network?
I think it could (and would) be implemented efficiently, so I'm +1 on
not giving these names, but adding this "recipe" to the documentation
instead.
