It would probably be useful to have some way of generating a list of
addresses in a subnet. Being able to increment addresses and having a
way to get the highest and lowest addresses in a subnet would give you
a way to do that.

You can write your own functions to do this. It is possible that they
could go back into the code base if they seem generally useful.
If you are interested in getting them back into the code base, you are probably
best off proposing specs for the functions on the hackers lists for comments,
before writing them.
