In fact, your example is simply a specific case of the more general
approach. Instead of
snmpwalk -W foo.x.y.z foo
(with an optional starting point), this would become
snmpwalk -CE {foo+1} foo.x.y.z
(with an optional ending point).
I haven't look at the code for your patch yet, but I suspect
that this approach ought to be simpler to implement.
The down-side is that specifying the ending point is perhaps
slightly less obvious.
