> New address picking scheme:
> * First we detect which addresses are available: IPv4 and/or IPv6 (dual-stack if both)
> * When we encounter an IPv4 address:
> ** If dual-stack or IPv4 stack: use it
> ** If IPv6-only stack: use it unless it is a class D (multicast) address: then convert it to an IPv6-mapped address
> * When we encounter an IPv6 address:
> ** If dual-stack or IPv6-only stack: use it
> ** Else: throw an exception (IPv6 address in an IPv4-only stack)
