IPAddress instances should definitely be hashable, but as long as
"prefixlen" is mutable, IPNetwork instances should *not* be hashable,
since their value can change.

If prefixlen was made read only, then IPNetwork instances could also be
made hashable. In that case, changing the prefix length would then have
to be done by creating a new instance.

Cheers,
Nick.
