I agree the argument is useless. Unfortunatly, it's going to be hard to
deprecate the old syntax so we may need to keep it around.
Alas, there doesn't seem to exist an easy way to support both
syntaxes in the ifconfig(8) parameter parser. Perhaps we can
You could always introduce a command-line switch that enabled the new
