 Thanks!  Much appreciated!  (Please let me know if you have a branch for
 me to review, and I'll take a look.)

 > The patch uses the `"%d"` format specifier for the output of
 `round_to_next_multiple_of` in `geoip_get_requests_by_transport_history`,
 but uses the `"%u"` format specifier in
 `geoip_get_requests_by_version_history`.

 Agreed.  Changed to `"%u"` in both cases.

 > It surprised me that `geoip_get_requests_by_version_history` returns
 `NULL` when both the v4 and v6 counts are 0, instead of returning
 "v4=0,v6=0". But I guess it matches what
 `geoip_get_requests_by_transport_history` does when all counts are 0.

 Right, I think returning a count of 0 has little value.  But I went even
 further and changed "v4=8,v6=0" to just "v4=8", because that "v6=0"
 doesn't provide much value, either.

 Changes pushed as separate commit to the same branch.  Thanks again!
