Currently std::net::Ipv6Addr, which is meant to represent individual IPv6 addresses, does not contain a field for Scope ID. Meanwhile, std::net::SocketAddrV6, which is meant to include all the information necessary for establishing a connection, does include a Scope ID.

This is incorrect layering. IPv6 Addresses which have a Scope ID are meaningless without it. The scope is not an additional qualifier for connection establishment, it is part of the address itself.

In .NET the equivalent structs are IPAddress and IPEndpoint. The Scope ID is on the former.
