What I wanted to express here (and did badly) is that crossing paths with this arcane Class-A style IP address is something so strange nowadays... in my case in more than 10 years professionally working as a developer, I had seen it exactly once and even then, didn't recognize it for what it was.

The code snippet was just an extra curiosity in case anyone found it useful.
