<dd>
Construct a new luci.ip.cidr instance and autodetect the address family.
Throws an error if the given strings do not represent a valid address or
if the given optional netmask is of a different family.
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
<li>
address: String containing a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, optionally
with prefix size (CIDR notation) or netmask separated by slash.
</li>
<li>
netmask: String containing a valid IPv4 or IPv6 netmask or number
containing a prefix size in bits (<code>0..32</code> for IPv4,
<code>0..128</code> for IPv6). Overrides mask embedded in the first argument
if specified. (optional)
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage:</h3>
<pre>addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1/24")
addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1/255.255.255.0")
addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1", "255.255.255.0") -- separate netmask
addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1/24", 16) -- override netmask
addr6 = luci.ip.new("fe80::221:63ff:fe75:aa17/64")
addr6 = luci.ip.new("fe80::221:63ff:fe75:aa17/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::")
addr6 = luci.ip.new("fe80::221:63ff:fe75:aa17", "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::")
addr6 = luci.ip.new("fe80::221:63ff:fe75:aa17/64", 128) -- override netmask</pre>
<h3>Return value:</h3>
A <code>luci.ip.cidr</code> object representing the given
address/mask range.

<dd>
Construct a new IPv4 luci.ip.cidr instance.
Throws an error if the given string does not represent a valid IPv4 address or
if the given optional netmask is of a different family.
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
