This is my problem, I’ve relied on ‘any’ for years to not need to know the QTYPE and get back
related information at a specific node. Having to enumerate 250+ types as a human is
frustration and still not clearly resolved. The AnyA to return AAAA or A will be helpful
once it appears, or if applications like dig do the complex computer part for the humans,
but often times the pedantic folks prevent user friendly solutions.
