Why not separating the netmask from the address ?
It forces to do string manipulation, and prevent
the use of bitfield, or the dotted bytes representation
"255.255.255.0".

what does the "ipv6?" parameter add ? This could be
deduced from the address length, no ?

"via" could also be called "gateway" (maybe that's an oldtimer
thing ;-) )
But that's all kind of bikesheddy...
