Description

@lemire i would like to use 128bit for ipv6, thought of having 2 roaring bitmaps of 64bit each and splitting the ipv6 into 2 segments but i realised i have to call the roaring bitmap from 2 memory location twice.

  1. possible to make a 128bit version?
  2. do u have suggestions to make this faster or better? is it advisable to use ipv6 detection for "flagging" it as a banned ip or similar?

specifically asked u coz i know u are expert in extreme optimization and thanks for all the write ups you have done etc.
