Seeing the network snippets are complex (understatement!) I think that 
(if it's something folks are interested in), might be a nice parameter 
to have, that way
folks would not have to modify their own Snippets. (Asking users to 
understand how to tweak the network snippet is a bit much, I think, and 
it's better that
we do things in ways that save everyone work).

Would someone want to add this?

Adding that parameter on a per-interface basis, defaulting to "", does 
not seem to be a bad idea to me.

(We'd want this done on the "master" development branch of course, 
rather than applied to 1.6, since it is a new feature)
