/**
 * Classes for constructing arbitrary divisions of unlimited length and the groupings of those divisions.
 * 
 * This is useful for arbitrary representations of IPv6 addresses, since  
 * IPv6 addresses have 128-bit length, exceeding the size of a 64-bit long.
 * 
 * BigInteger is used for representing division values.  For divisions under 64 bits,
 * which is the case for standard representations of IPv4 (8 bit segments), IPv6 (16 bit segments) and MAC (8 bit segments), 
 * you should use the classes in package inet.ipaddr.format.standard instead.
