Sure that these options works, but the previous behaviour which: 1. was shorter to write 2. allowed to inspect both IPv6 and IPv4 was much better IMO. The man page only adds confusion, as it says: "ip falls back to the default one, usually inet or any" when no family was specified and it cannot be guessed from arguments.
