Futher to this, you should use mDNS so that you don't have to know the 
address :)

If the hostname of your machine is foo, mDNS should register foo.local 
via your IPv6 addresses!
Works very well :D

As your actual goal is easy to remember connectivity rather than an 
actual need for IPv6 static addresses I've decided not to bloat dhcpcd 
to allow this for the time being. Of course if you come back and say 
"must have", I'll reconsider.
