Comment (by joehoyle):

 I think we should stick with just `rest_is_ip_address`, I don't see a need
 to validation `ipv4 / ipv6` separately, doing so will only make it more
 likely they developers only support one of the formats, when really all
 code should be written to support both. I'd get rid of
 `rest_is_ipv4_address` and `rest_is_ipv6_address` and just have a single
 function that can validate either. Same for the schema types.
