rather than setting it to `undef`, in which case the hash element still exists, use
`delete`, which also returns the value.


So this could be:

if (my $comments6 = delete $d->{comments6}) {
    $d->{comments} = ($d->{comments}) // '') . $comments6;
}

Shorter and also more correct/robust.

shouldn't that include a length check like `scalar($d->{families}->@*) == 0` to be more safe/robust,
as else inet6 could be just be first by chance (did not really checked the context though)

see above regarding use of delete
