I mean, eg, IPv4Network.fromHostIP('192.168.1.1/24').

(IPv4Network('192.168.111.0/24'), IPv4Address('192.168.111.33'))

I think this helps the use case of the short network+gateway notation,
while keeping the concepts of network and host address cleanly separate.
Then the regular IPv4Network constructor could be strict and can be used
for validation.
