Sorry, that was unkind of me, and it's a topic I should not be sarcastic
about.

It isn't clear to me exactly how configurable or hardcoded your script
needs to be. If you know it will always run in a v4-only environment, or
in either v4-only or dual-stack environments, you might as well hardcode
-4 -l and you'll only need to change it if you have a v6-only deployment.
