New submission from Seth Bromberger:
ipaddress.ip_address instances should be flyweight. There's really no reason to
make them mutable:
>>> a = ipaddress.ip_address("10.1.2.3")
>>> b = ipaddress.ip_address("10.1.2.3")
>>> id(a)
140066533772368
>>> id(b)
140066504622544
Especially with IPv6 and large numbers of addresses, it would be helpful not to
have separate instances with the same underlying properties.
