In the olden days, the mask was spelled out in octets (eg 255.255.255.0). But we've moved to a more compact and logical notation where the number of leading significant bits is specified (eg /24).
I hope you're not suggesting the older notation be unsupported? I would expect to be able to use a mask like 255.255.255.192 without having to count bits myself.
