It's not enough, actually.
Imagine what you have a table with different networks. If you'll try to
find out is an IP belongs to some of that networks from the table, you
should to write relatively serious "wrapper" with network range
calculations in it. Or can you show differ (easier) way?
So it's REALLY usefull to implement that functions "out-of-the-box".
I'm risking to be annoying, but there is a good (from customers point of
view) example of tables manipulation in Linux: ipset project
(http://ipset.netfilter.org/ipset.man.html)
