It could be added.  It would need to support IPv6 as well as IPv4, and 
do so without unconditionally dragging in IPv6 support.  Since IPv6 
(and, to a lesser extent, IPv4) can have non-canonical textual 
representations of their addresses, I think the comparison should be 
based on converting the name to an IP address and comparing the raw 
binary value, rather than converting the IP address to a string and 
comparing the string.
