[issue17400] ipaddress should make it easy to identify rfc6598 addresses

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Sorry for chiming in a bit late, but what's the rationale for including 100.64.0.0/10 in the "is_private" set, rather than *only* excluding it from the "is_global" set?

The rationale for RFC 6598 is precisely that 100.64.0.0/10 is *not* private in the common sense, so it would deserve a different treatment in the ipaddress module as well.
