Maybe we can keep that > /feature/? Err, I would only find it useful for adding a '104' vlan to a 'em0.foo' interface. Otherwise it is ambiguous. Suppose you have an em0 and an em0.foo interface already, then what should em0.foo.104 do in that case? I think the only way that this auto-cloning makes sense if it is an exact match of . as it is documented to be. -- John Baldwin
