Math says there is no way to do that.   Like, store 2^63 ND entries
in finite memory...

(The whole reason why /64 semeed a good idea back then was CGA and
"we can make it work with EUI-64 on IEEE-1394 devices!", of which CGA
never truly happened, EUI-64 based on MAC addresses is dying off, and
IEEE-1394 is long gone...  I always thought that /64 was a bit silly)
