What? :-?
I can see a couple of answers wich provide some tips to scan an IPv6 range
of addresses but as I have not nmap installed in the system where I'm now I
can't try it so I don't know if they work as intended.

I agree this is a "must have" feature but you know, devels have their
own priorities for coding, featuring and fixing. Funny thing is that everybody
(institutions, companies, hardware manufacturers...) encourage the switch to
the new IPv6 stack but the hidden costs for the change is still too high.
