+        INet4Address represents a simple IP address. It is modelled as a fixed-size
+        container/sequence of 4 bytes.
+
+        \see CheckINet4Network \n INet4Network
+
+        \implementation We awkwardly need to use static named constructors (<tt>from_</tt> members)
+            instead of ordinarily overloaded constructors for one simple reason: <tt>char *</tt>
+            doubles as string literal and as arbitrary data iterator. The iterator constructor can
+            therefore not be distinguished from initialization with a string literal. Therefore we
+            need to disambiguate using the named constructors.
