while why is it 0.0.0.0 and not 0.0.0.0/0, 0/0 or 0?

why is it ::/0 not ::, 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0, 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0/0, 
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 or 
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/0?
realistically we need automated interfaces too. parsing everything out of human 
ui is very error prone! yet easy, hence why the changes are bad

btw, half of tools (still?) crap out and do wharever silently when i specify 
things like 10/8. hint: it doesn't expand into 10.0.0.0/8. that's non-pola'ish 
too
