+IP datatype for VisiData.
+
+Goals:
+- One type (`ip`) that accepts IPv4/IPv6 addresses and CIDR networks (e.g. 192.168.7.0/24).
+- Correct sorting (by version then numeric value, with networks after addresses).
+- `ip * netmask` returns True/False for membership (address in network).
+- Enrichment properties with normalized shapes:
+    - ip.ipinfo.country
+    - ip.asn.asn / ip.asn.name / ip.asn.country
+    - ip.vt.verdict  (e.g. "3/94")
+
+Network calls are optional; when deps/keys are missing, properties return empty defaults.
