[db-wg] Support for expansion of an origin into a list of prefixes

Dear RIPE DB-WG,

Much like my previous request regarding server side expansion of
objects, I'd very much like the RIPE Database team to implement two
flags which IRRd currently supports: !g & !6

I've filed an enhancement request on github:

    https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/issues/73

The !g and !6 flags signficantly reduce the amount of RPSL
interpretation a client has to perform, as the server provides the
clients with a straight answer (abeit simplified). 

If the DB team implements such a feature, I'd also very much like an
implementation in context or RDAP so I can query for lists of prefixes
through HTTP rather than WHOIS. 

Kind regards,

Job
