On many systems, an interface address of 127.0.0.1 is not a wild-card
address for the entire subnet, not even on the loopback interface.

    % telnet 127.0.0.2 22
    Trying 127.0.0.2...
    telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.2: Can't assign requested address
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Therefore, I'll stick with host==/32 for all IPv4 addresses.
