Unfortunately, that usually happens only after they burned down your
project. It only takes one twig to burn down a forest; it only takes one

Reminds of a certain individual who shall remain unnamed, with whom I

converting the address and prefixes to strings and then using
strncmp()... Truly boggles the mind.
