CQL searching for IP ranges

We have a CQL application that needs to search records by IP range:
for example, if we have a record with an ip-ranges field:
	213.150.43.10-213.150.43.20
then we need to be able to search for:
	net.ipRanges encloses/net.ipAddress 213.150.43.11
and have the server understand from that query that we're looking for
the term to be interpreted as a dotted address, with ordering defined
appropriately.

We therefore ask for the following elements to be added to the Network
Context Set as defined at:
	http://srw.cheshire3.org/contextSets/net/

	index: ipRanges
	relation modifier: ipAddress

(We can't just use the existing net.host index, since this querty
explicitly needs an IP address, with its ordering rules, rather than a
symbolic name.)
