Need for an REMOTE_PROTOCOL_FAMILY environment variable ?

Hi folks,

This is a really, really minor enhancement, but we have REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_PORT, would it make sense to have REMOTE_PROTOCOL_FAMILY [Ie. either "IPv4"/"IPv6", or "2"/"10"] to disambiguate the REMOTE_ADDR format ?

The IP protocol family can be reverse-engineered by checking the format OTOH, so this is not a really major issue, but for consistency it might make sense.

Or would it introduce some low-level protocol detail which has nothing to do here ? (after all, the REMOTE_ADDR string can be parsed by the system, whatever the format is)
