From this discussion it looks like what you want is for the first query to return this irt object as the default, along with the inetnum object that would normally be returned with this query. No, we are NOT asking for changes in which inetnums (and related) objects are returned, but that the relevant IRT object is returned along with the inetnum object which is currently returned.
If we make this the default operation, then we have to have a way to turn it off. Not everyone wants yet more information returned with their query. This could be done with another flag. Or we could link it in with the recursive searching currently done with personal data. I think it would be natural for -r to suppress IRT objects too.
This would mean a query done for a range with no query flags would return the most specific inetnum object, route objects, organisation object, role/person objects and the irt object that would have been found with a -c query. The same query with the -r flag would only return the inetnum and route objects.
Is this the behavior that most people would prefer? Yes.
