I scanned the archives, and one person asked it back in July, but there
doesn't appear to be any followup ...

Is it possible to go from text->inet in v7.0.3?  if not, is it in v7.1?

the following doesn't work:

template1=# select '216.126.84.1'::text::inet;
ERROR:  Cannot cast type 'text' to 'inet'

but I could be missing something in the docs?
