Module format 

Value formatting utilities for network addresses.

Provides formatting functions for displaying network addresses in human-readable form:

• IPv4 addresses (UInt32 -> dotted-decimal string)
• IPv6 addresses (16 bytes -> RFC 5952 string)
• MAC addresses (6 bytes -> colon-separated hex)

These functions are used by the CLI output formatter to automatically format address columns for display while keeping the underlying binary storage for efficient filtering and range queries.
