If in6_pton were to support tunnel traffic.. wait that sounds
unusual, and would require dst to be at least 20 bytes, which the 
function documentation contradicts.

As the RFCs make no precise name proposition

	(IPv6 Text Representation, third alternative,
	IPv4 "decimal value" of the "four low-order 8-bit pieces")

so let's just call it

	"low-32-bit dot-decimal representation"

which should avoid the tunnel term.
