[cups.development] [RFE] STR #1590: snmp.conf should support broadcast address syntax too (e.g. "Address 10.162.4.255"), with CIDR

Currently, the snmp autodiscovery backend supports these address parameter
syntax variants:
Address ip-address
Address @LOCAL
Address @IF(name)
I'd like to see these additional forms supported:
Address x.y.z.255
Address x.y.255.255
Address x.255.255.255
Address 255.255.255.255
This is similar to BrowseAddress in cupsd.conf.
(If the broadcast address would mean to go beyond a router/gateway [which
usually blocks broadcasts], is it then easily possible to translate at
least the first of the above lines into 254 single addresses meaning
"x.y.z.1-254", similar to the nmap syntax of addressing targets?)
Is it possible to support a syntax like
Address x.y.3-4.1-255
as a shorthand for
Address x.y.3.1
Address x.y.3.2
[....]
Address x.y.3.255
Address x.y.4.1
Address x.y.4.2
[....]
Address x.y.4.255
?
(Currently, all different Community names are tried in turn for each node;
is it possible to "group" certain community names to certain addresses?)
