   The IP network address types, <code class="type">cidr</code> and <code class="type">inet</code>,
   support the usual comparison operators shown in
   <a class="xref" href="functions-comparison.html#FUNCTIONS-COMPARISON-OP-TABLE" title="Table 9.1. Comparison Operators">Table 9.1</a>
   as well as the specialized operators and functions shown in
   <a class="xref" href="functions-net.html#CIDR-INET-OPERATORS-TABLE" title="Table 9.39. IP Address Operators">Table 9.39</a> and
   <a class="xref" href="functions-net.html#CIDR-INET-FUNCTIONS-TABLE" title="Table 9.40. IP Address Functions">Table 9.40</a>.
  </p><p>
   Any <code class="type">cidr</code> value can be cast to <code class="type">inet</code> implicitly;
   therefore, the operators and functions shown below as operating on
   <code class="type">inet</code> also work on <code class="type">cidr</code> values.  (Where there are
   separate functions for <code class="type">inet</code> and <code class="type">cidr</code>, it is
   because the behavior should be different for the two cases.)
   Also, it is permitted to cast an <code class="type">inet</code> value
   to <code class="type">cidr</code>.  When this is done, any bits to the right of the
   netmask are silently zeroed to create a valid <code class="type">cidr</code> value.

        This operator, and the next four, test for subnet inclusion.  They
        consider only the network parts of the two addresses (ignoring any

        is identical to or a subnet of the other.
