I must be in my wrong mind then. :)
Just because it's a 128-bit number doesn't mean it should be difficult to remember, the standard notation goes a long way toward that. 2001:db8::cafe:f00d and fc00:bad:beef::1 aren't what I'd call the epitome of "can't remember"
Mind that real-world global addresses often have four groups of almost-random at the beginning, but it's usually not terrible to commit to memory.
