Yes, I've been thinking of for something similar for
InflateColumn::IP and automatically formatting the
address appropriately for various column types (e.g.
integers or PostgreSQL's inet and cidr types).

Currently (not yet committed) I'm just mapping from
$info->{data_type} to address formats without regard for
the storage type, but that doesn't feel very robust.
