Thank you for pointing this out, so I am going to implement this syntax for the
case where runtime conversion is needed.
Do you have an opinion regarding the suggestion for the VCL compile time case?
IOW, do you favor
set client.ip = [123.45.67.8];
or
set client.ip = "123.45.67.8";
or even no compile time support as in
set client.ip = IP("123.56.78.9");
Thanks, Nils
