 I just happen to notice a (relatively) new method "getAddressas"
 is added to the asiolink::IOAddress class.

 This breaks the basic concept of asiolink: The fundamental idea of
 this wrapper module is to hide asio-specific details from other part
 of BIND 10.  Exposing asio's internal definition this way will make it
 useless.

 Please reconsider the interface: if the current IOAddress class is
 insufficient in terms of functionality, we need to add a higher level
 method to provide that necessary functionality, rather than exposing
 asio::ip::address and have the caller use the underlying ASIO
 interface.

 According to git blame and how this method is used, I guess it was
 added for DHCP, so I'm specifying "DHCP" as the sub-project.
