/// Returns [`true`] if the address is a unicast link-local address (`fe80::/64`).
/// Returns `true` if the address is a unicast address with link-local scope,
/// as defined in [RFC 4291].
///
/// A common misconception is to think that "unicast link-local addresses start with
/// `fe80::`", but [IETF RFC 4291] actually defines a stricter format for these addresses:
/// A unicast address has link-local scope if it has the prefix `fe80::/10`, as per [RFC 4291 section 2.4].
/// Note that this encompasses more addresses than those defined in [RFC 4291 section 2.5.6],
/// which describes "Link-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses" as having the following stricter format:
///
/// ```no_rust
/// | 10 |
/// | bits | 54 bits | 64 bits |
/// ```text
/// | 10 bits | 54 bits | 64 bits |
/// +----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
/// |1111111010| 0 | interface ID |
/// +----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
/// ```
/// So while currently the only addresses with link-local scope an application will encounter are all in `fe80::/64`,
/// this might change in the future with the publication of new standards. More addresses in `fe80::/10` could be allocated,
/// and those addresses will have link-local scope.
///
/// This method validates the format defined in the RFC and won't recognize addresses
/// like `fe80:0:0:1::` or `fe81::` as unicast link-local addresses.
/// If you need a less strict validation, use [`Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local()`] instead.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```

/// Returns [`true`] if the address is a unicast link-local address (`fe80::/10`).
/// Also note that while [RFC 4291 section 2.5.3] mentions about the [loopback address] (`::1`) that "it is treated as having Link-Local scope",
