Again, the same error-catching functionality can be obtained through an option to the constructor. network and broadcast attributes can be renamed to .\1address to alleviate confusion as well. My remark was not targetting error-catching of non-zero low bits, it was about the suggestion to have a "network" or "mask" attribute on Address objects.

If I'm reading your reply correctly, then I agree that having a network attribute on an address object doesn't make sense.

My remark was targeting Eric's reply of, "By keeping the concepts distinct we can catch mis-uses earlier."
