Define static hostname ip4-localhost
This mirrors the corresponding static hostname that is defined for IPv6:
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
These lines exist because there are some situations where you can only conveniently specify a hostname but you wish to force a particular protocol. For the same reason "ip4-localhost" is useful.
