On the contrary I'm using it for something that isn't really what it was
designed for precisely *because* of the index methods. What index access
methods are you looking for that are lacking?

db=> explain select * from foo where foo_code << '4.0.0.0/8';
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index Scan using foo_foo_code on foo (cost=0.00..34.56 rows=1695 width=229)
Index Cond: ((foo_code > '4.0.0.0/8'::cidr) AND (foo_code <= '4.255.255.255'::cidr))
Filter: (foo_code << '4.0.0.0/8'::cidr)
(3 rows)
