Yes, I assume that's what I'll do in the end.

Exactly. Please add this to the wish list. :-)

Well, cidr* would possibly confuse as well as it would imply that it
only understands CIDR notation - but ideally it would understand dotted
quad notation and singular IP addresses (implied /32) as well.

"hosts"-something, maybe? Seems to fit right in there with the "hosts"
ACL statement which does the exact same thing.
