While properties like is_private account for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses,
such as for example:
>>> ipaddress.ip_address("192.168.0.1").is_private
True
>>> ipaddress.ip_address("::ffff:192.168.0.1").is_private
True
...the same doesn't currently apply to the is_loopback property:
>>> ipaddress.ip_address("127.0.0.1").is_loopback
True
>>> ipaddress.ip_address("::ffff:127.0.0.1").is_loopback
False
At minimum, this inconsistency between different properties is
counter-intuitive. Moreover, ::ffff:127.0.0.0/112 is for all intents and
purposes a loopback address, and should be treated as such.
For the record, this will now match the behavior of other languages such
as Rust, Go and .NET, cf. rust-lang/rust#69772.
