Research direction
Start by locating the slice-based O(n) prefix-matching implementation in this Go package. Compare the proposed cidranger dependency with the alternative Kentik/patricia, then confirm which replacement preserves the package’s existing filtering behavior. Done means the selected implementation replaces the slice-based matcher.
