If you are using 128-bit integers, which according to some will also
change some day, thus one should be using "struct addrinfo" and:
getaddrinfo()
getnameinfo()
as those are the girlfriends of programmers.
Note that one should effectively avoid inet_pton/inet_ntop as they still
require the programmer to know about address families, the get*info()
ones ignore all those details.
