Bug reference:      18549
Logged by:          Johannes Ernst
Email address:      git@j12t.org
PostgreSQL version: 16.1
Operating system:   All
Description:

One of the variations of ipv6 addresses is link-local addresses. It would be
nice if they could be stored in an inet column.

Example: fe80::249a:57ff:fed6:695f%host0/128 . Note the %host0
