I'm not sure what you meant by "two different programs", but if it was
the reason why we separated ping6 from the IPv4 version of ping,
please see the following URL:

Hmm...it MAY be useful in some cases, but I'm personally not in favor
of the idea, because we'd rarely need such a function in applications
(remember that normal extension headers are grabbed as ancillary data
via the advanced API).
